    Status update, 11/24/09 Ridiculous incident, need advice: let it go or take a stand?

    Your right grim, however, I do not have full coverage. If he clipped me, which he would have, and then took off, I would get nothing. I know the roads well, and can handle a vehicle at those speeds. The goal was to put a good distance between us, and I succeeded, gaining a ~10 car gap. Once...

    Status update, 11/24/09 Ridiculous incident, need advice: let it go or take a stand?

    My basis for this action is that he couldnt sideswipe me if he couldnt get up next to me. I consider myself a pretty good driver, and I knew if I pushed the nimble jetta, he would be unable to get up next to me in an explorer. Honestly I cant say I regret this action, as had I not sped up I...

    Strange way to total a car...

    I dont know that they would even let you buy that back. It seems like it would be too much of a health risk. I gutted a moldy bathroom and it made me feeling sick for a couple weeks. People dont realize how dangerous mold is, it can cause many health problems and death.

    Had I been in the supra, he would have been left in a cloud of rubbery smoke. :burnout:

    So it would have been better to let him get up next to me, put me into a tree and drive away? I dont have full coverage so even if I didnt get hurt, if he takes off then I'm out a car. Was going 90 the safest thing in the world? No. Was it better than letting him hit me? Absolutely.

    What exhaust to do and which one do you have

    This question is completely subjective and there is no correct answer. +1 go listen to sound clips. Theres plenty of folks showing off their new exhaust on youtube.

    I agree guys, I should have called the police, however, around here the cops are generally lazy and slow to respond. They like to belive that nothing like this really happens in their "good town". When my car was stolen, they wouldnt even send an officer out to collect evidence (half my...

    Status update, 11/24/09 Ridiculous incident, need advice: let it go or take a stand?

    The reason why I didnt go to the police station is I thought this kid might actually hit my car and the police station was like 10 mi away. Being chased that far at high speeds could have let to someone getting hurt or killed. Looking back I should have called the cops right then, but I...

    Status update, 11/24/09 Ridiculous incident, need advice: let it go or take a stand?

    I don't see how they could considering I was fleeing a physical confrontation with an unknown number of assailants. Also forgot to mention after I took off, he pulled up as if he was going to try and PIT manuver me (clip my quarter pannel in an attempt to spin me out). This was the act that...

    Ok so heres the situation. Today was my buddies 23rd and we were at his house. Cleared out around midnight. Hop in the jetta and pull out, and this dude in an explorer rolls up on me. My buddy witnesses this. Pull onto a backroad and the explorer is right on my ass. I pull to the side to...

    JK nobody's dog died. However I did just save $1524 on my car insurance. I've been paying $2440 for my 00 jetta and my 89 toyota pickup (Basic and glass coverage). After having my business liability insurance with my agent, I began to suspect he was fucking me. Just renewed my policy and was...

    8 cranks to start when 1/2 warm: fact of life?

    Stay away from the stealership. Just because they cost more doesnt mean they know what they are doing. DIY man, its the supra way of life. Theres a write up on this in articles as well as a spreadsheet you can use. Use the turbo timer man, if you cant get it to work buy another one (i...

    wiring harness problem

    I'm pretty sure that if the knock sensor isnt hooked up it goes into a "safe mode" where it just acts like it has knock...it will run...but shitty. Definitely something you want to fix.
