Before you go crazy with power think twice about your self

[Snake-eyes]

I've noticed a big differnce between the forums I go to and it is all but obvious. This forum has a lot of "crashes" but people walk away...The faster the cars in the forums the more the "trend" of high death rates of its members follows. I see more people pass on to the other side than other cars as the HP scale moves and its a sad fact that power despite your own assurance of self control does kill.
I noticed a lot of posts on this forum about buying STI's, Evo's, GTO's, 350z's and G35/G37's. Be carefull guys and make sure that you have the maturity and "self" awareness before you purchase these. The faster the cars the more deaths and its a true fact. I dont care how mature you think you are..if you rate yourself as an offensive driver and not defensive please re-consider your purchase, it might save your life.

Consider getting that v6 caddy indead of the V or that regular 3 series instead of the M to keep yourself safe. BTW its winter / spring still that means do not be a speed demon on the streets!

I dont want to see any friends here in a ditch or worse

im glad i drive a civic LX

140ish HP! cant go any where fast!

Very true, good post.

I've heard so much people over at the G35 forums talk about car crashes and how bad the car is during the snow, but I've seriously had no trouble at all. You just have to KNOW how to drive and not be reckless. Whether you have 150hp or 300hp, if you drive like a jackass, you're in for a rude awakening.

Nothing like having your rear tire break traction around a hard corner on a motorcycle to remind you that you've gotta be careful and keep yourself in check... stay sane and safe out there.

I can imagine that happening ALOT with FWD guys moving to high HP RWD cars.

Just a question, I hope it doesn't stir up anything...but was that the same BLUBYU that was an ocho member?

I don't think I talked to him much, but I remember that screen name from here, I think.

Any insight anyone?

...and be careful out there guys.

BLU's last post here was 12/29. I certainly hope that was not him.

Yeah man, I didn't want to jump to conclusions and get a member mixed up...that would cause a lot of unneeded drama...especially with something of this magnitude.

Hope it wasn't him either...

[JZILLA]

I know he was very active on this site and now that this is mentioned I havent seen a post from him in a while. hope everyone is safe

[eXe]

Ill be sure not to buy a GTO now... This is one of the reasons why I cant get the SCer right now....

Unnatural death sucks. My rule of thumb, get a car fast enough to get a ticket but not fast enough to kill yourself.

This is exactly why i didnt get a 350z like i had originally wanted. Im not mature enough to handle that much power. Also the reason why i wont get a motorcycle even though I want one... id end up killing myself.

Maybe when im a bit older, but for now small 'fun' cars are where its at for me.

You should see motorcycle forums. They specifically have a section for fallen riders.

Yay, glad it was not him.

[IWHINE]

its about how safe you are nothing to do with power really.

[friedk]

I disagree. A rwd car is harder to handle than our cars especially in rain, ice, and snow.

A rwd car with alot of power is even worse. Then there's midengine and rear engine cars..

Driving a turbo mr2 in the rain will always be more dangerous than driving a Honda Accord no matter how many precautions you take.

The statistics just prove it alone..that it indeed has a lot to do with power
