You only get to crash someone a few times before they make sure you can't get your car back on the trailer so it helps keep the contact to a minimum.
That is a mean one-liner. Love it.
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Road Racing is the only sport I know of where someone can cross 30 feet of tarmac to run into the side of another car and then blame it on you.
I'll never get used to that.

Cmon, Fabman, I have run against a driver who were talented enough to go clear off the track , forget about both feet in, and shoot 60 feet back across the track to hit me --- and as you noted it was still my fault, ha. He was watching me in his mirrors and told me I was braking too late and I was going to hit him. I tried really hard, but even though my door was damaged from Mr. Doodoo ( they are not extinct ), I could not stop laughing.
 
I hate those seats.
Makes it hard to get in and out and limits my ability to look around, which I think is kind of important.
I especially hate the Hans crap (I use necksgen but still) I feel like I have one of those halos on my head that they use when they do back surgery so you can't move your head.
I know its supposed to be for my own good, but so are Lima Beans and I don't need those in my life either.

Ya big baby, but i do agree.
I have this style in the 944, surprisingly good even on the street.

The Gen 1 Hans was atrocious as the tether was fixed at the back, got a new one that now allows the tether to slide so you can actually turn your head. Who would have thought we needed to see what was beside us.

Yeah, that seat is probably one of the better compromises for sure.
The necksgen is way less obtrusive and it also has the loose tether so you can turn head at least somewhat.

This is what I like.

So..aside from still having a blinking security light, which is not resolved.
There's this thread about disabling traction control.
