and look at that i posted it....

 

I can't understand why you would want to, but this is an easy "trick" to do. The civic is driven by the RF wheel, so by backing in, locking the ebrake(try first with out cars around you) cranking the wheel to the right and the bit of torque steer delivered from the burn out the car will drift to the right. Now a civic is easier to do this with because its much lighter then your TL and the ebrake holds better and is more linear in its response.

If you want to get good at it, practice it with no cars around, after you've burned off your first set of tires and have it perfect every time, then try it near other cars. But should you hit them you could be charged with reckless driving which is a misdemeanor, not to mention you potentially could hit a person doing this. In the event of an accident I would bet your insurance company would drop you and if you could find insurance else where it would be astronomical.

Are you sure your 21? Your suppose to get shit like this out of your system when your 16 and driving a beretta.

 

Actually, yes i am sure i'm 21. And while others were doing stuff like this at 16, i was too busy being better than them. (Never got into cars until recently) Now that I am, I can take time to do stupid "shit like this" at this age. So, I'm sorry, if I wasn't your typical 16 year old.

As for the trick, I wanted to know how it was done b/c I thought it would look awesome to be able to park like that. However, after talking to a friend and realizing the damage it does to your car, I don't think I'll be taking on this "project." Waste of time and, in the future, money.

I would, however, like to thank you for your concerns.

 

I nominate this for the schmuck comment of the week

 

 

I am sure you were leaps and bounds ahead of most 16 year olds, however when I was 16 I was running/owned a business grossing 7+ figures a year - I also had graduated high school by that age, but don't feel the need to bring up my accomplishments about being a super teen

So while my life was unlike any other 16 year old I know, and had more responsibility then most twice my age - yet I still managed to have fun and live as normal a life as one could expect given the conditions.

 

I wonder what his thoughts are regarding VQs and Rotary engines...

 

I applaud you (and no, this isn't sarcastic). That really is something to be proud of. I WISH i could've been able to say that I did as much, but unfortunately, I can't.
I did, however, manage to build up a stock portfolio to the point that I'm not troubling my parents w/ college payments, and enough so that if/when I get into med school, they won't have to worry about that either. Also, as i've stated above, I never really got into cars until I owned my TL (seeing as how it's the 1st car i've owned)

I was just trying to say, don't assume that at 16, some kids are doing "stupid shit."

Out of curiousity, what kind of business were you running? Do you still own? Maybe you should be a vendor at Acurazine (assuming it has anything to do w/ cars)

 

I didn't mean to come across as chest pounding or animus, but its in poor taste to assume other's aren't on your level - you never know who your talking to on the net or in real life for that matter

When I was 16 I owned and ran a retail tire shop that also does basic mechanical repairs, I still own it and we have moved to a new 8000 sq. ft state of the art facility. Which got me into my new interests in business, property development and more recently land leasing. My place is very service oriented and that is the one thing the internet is incapable of delivering, its also the thing that has prevented internet based competetion to infiltrate my customer base. So while I will help people from Acurazine that ask for help, its on a case by case basis at my discretion, I don't have time to deal with people I don't want to work with - which is what being a sponser/vendor here would take away.

Congratulations to you on your accomplishments, not many people your age are as focused as you seem to be. The road to success is a different street for everyone, there is no "right" way to make it in today's market, seeing opportunity and acting upon it is the only way to make a change in your quality of life. Good luck with your schooling!

 

Not at all. I'm actually quite jealous of, yet look up to, your achievements, for I have not been able to achieve such success, YET haha. I am one to live life wanting to be the best, so when I see someone who has done something way beyond what I can imagine doing at my age, I look up to it.

I had (within the last 5 years) gone out west w/ my father and purchased land in the Vegas area (which we are currently trying to develop), as well as in the Lancaster, CA (we are currently looking into building 100 homes on the 30 acres we own there.) Looks like property deveopment, owning and leasing, are the only thing that continue to go up.

Thanks! Wish for continued success for you as well

 

That video sucked donkey balls.

 

Thanks for the life story guys.

 

Heart warming. A year later.
