Re: Took my car out for a SPIN today

I'm scared to really push my NA. I've went into Michael Shumacher mode a few times but nothing serious. I don't want to wreck my baby

although I did scare my step-dad on a backroad one day, and he used to jump out of airplanes as an Army Ranger back in the 70s/80s. So that's cool I guess

Bring it to the Dragon with some quality tires.. you'll at least get a better feel for where you can push it and keep the tires on the road.

I should. I'm from Georgia so it's not too far. My dad took his Harley Electra-Glide back in 07'. Stayed in a little cabin with some buddies and it looked really fun in the pictures. I told him I want to take the car and his bike before I leave for boot camp.

Actually, his skills are pretty good. Most would have over corrected and wrecked. It happens to the best. Glad all turned out safe and a lesson was learned. Know this, if the lesson needs to be learned a second time, it will probably not turn out as well.
