WrongWay 0 #1 October 11, 2003 Okay, I have this car that's been my baby for the last few years. Ya know, one of those exotic cars that you keep garaged at all times and you can't possibly drive it under 90 mph. I'm considering bringing it to the dz today cuz it's a nice day, and unfortunately I can't jump cuz I have to save money, and I figure I might as well go in style. Problem is, dz has this big long nasty gravel driveway, and one mistake, and that beautiful midnight blue paintjob goes to shit. So, what do ya think, should I take it anyway??

bobsled92 0 #2 October 11, 2003 Take it there, when it's a BIG day for you or your DZ (not for 100 EXTRA jumpers, kinda day)= dings. You have it and are proud of it. The reason to drive it and share view with friends=GOOD. Boogie/"Cast of Peasants" & out-of-town "can't see it from MY house--Ha Ha folks It's an emotional thing. Go with your gut feels. They tell you your oun true feels. I took a new $98,000 Benz to a Fireworks show that I was a part of. A 12" shell (big-1) cracked in the tube sending us to the ground and burning magnesium to my paint job(I parked 700' away) You know your DZ, best wishes._______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WrongWay 0 #5 October 11, 2003 Don't have a pic right now. I'm at work. Anyway, it's a '91 Porsche 911 Carrera 2. Midnight blue paint, with white leather interior, chrome Porsche rims, Pirelli P-Zero racing tires, registered at 180 but it'll hit about 220. Trust me....... It's my BABY......

SkymonkeyONE 4 #10 October 11, 2003 Don't be a pansy; drive the fucking car. Drive it like you stole it. I got exactly 110 miles out of the first set of back tires on my last Corvette (97 C5, the first in North Carolina). Burnouts backed up to the front door of my then-favorite bar until the smoke cleared the whole place out makes for a good show. Replacing Eagle F1 run-flats at the tune of $460 per tire gets expensive though, so I ceased that very-entertaining practice. I have always been of the school of thought that cars were meant for driving....hard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrongWay 0 #11 October 11, 2003 Hell yes. Consider it done, bro!! And yeah, I agree, cars were made to be driven, HARD. Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
