Gettin' too confident when driving...
I think I'm starting to get too confident when driving. Nothing's happend in a while. No accidents. Nothing unexpected happens. Everything is pretty much as I see it. This is a bad thing though 'cause I'm pushing my car more and more lately. Even with that cracked spoke. Oops! For example, I was doing my daily routine of parking on this one street by my school. I saw a parking spot on the left side of a two-way street, and I didn't feel like doing a 3-point turn. 180 here we go! I e-brake, steer, and throttle my way through it and I keep the tires spinning as I climb out of the spin and accelerate towards the parking spot. LOL I then parrallel park. After I did that I was like... Maybe I shouldn't be so brave? I mean, something unexpected could happen and I could be in trouble. Know what I mean? Hint hint, Brandon. LOL
Anyway, I think we should keep ourselves under control. It's fun to do crazy ****, but you can't let yourself get too confident. That's when accidents happen. Bleh.

Yeah... I did turn to the left at least. That way there way less stress on the left wheels than on the right ones. That wheel with the cracked spoke is on the left in the rear BTW.

man i feel the same way. and your roads seem alot like the ones here where im at school. i have had my car aligned 3 times and replaced a rim already and i have been here since september. i swerve one way to avoid one and i hit another, cant get away from them potholes, mancovers, uneven pavement etc.

Yeah....unexpected accidents while using e-brakes really suck. Sounds like you pulled an initial d move like when they whip around the gates/galleries on akina. Your next goal should be the same kind of thing, but keep sliding right into the parking spot.
