Oh, I know it, just having a little fun of my own.

And sadly, it's very likely somebody else out there did crash that day....in their 2 ton AWD SUV going about 20 mph

Got a good drive in today with around 6cm on the ground on new rubber. Got to drive in all sorts of stuff feeling out grip. Saw a elenatra in the ditch coming down a twistie curve near my place, did not crash...

First winter on yellows. Anybody think 2.3° on the rear tire would effect grip negatively?

Drove my FRS today and did not crash - but I came close twice in the first 6 blocks!

First was a BMW that decided they wanted to be in my lane... no signal (stereotypical) - just cut in front of me and missed my front bumper by a foot!

Then two blocks later I am going 40MPH and entering an intersection with a green light - and a Mercedes G-wagon decides to make a "right on red" in front of me causing me to brake hard and switch lanes to avoid collision.

This is the last time I buy an "Asphalt" car - I obviously blend in to the road becoming essentially invisible!

Other than that it was a great drive - as much as I whine about the little things I am always grinning and amazed when I get a chance to take the car out!

You'd think so, but I can confirm that I've had very similar incidents and nearly been merged into/over on the highway multiple times in a Hot Lava FR-S with all lights on and on the brightest of sunny days when you can't help but see a bright a$$ orange car.

Thank you for not crashing.

Out of the last 7 days, I've had 5 days where I was sitting at a light and someone went straight when the turn lane next to them changed to green, and their light was still red.

Fortunately, none of us crashed so far.

Are we not practicing our threshold braking enough?

Read the track forum.... when it fails it fails to the extreme and locks way before it should...

Grr... challenge accepted. Now I have to read the thread carefully.

Drove my FR-S to work today, in the snow, and did not crash. First winter with snow tires on the car (mounted some Blizzaks last week) and they resulted in a marked improvement over the summer tires that came with the car.
