Generation x and generation next have been brought up on FWD cars.
same people who think burnouts with the front wheels is cool...lol

Fortunately i have never owned a FWD in the 22 years behind the wheel or cared to drive one.Like my father told me when I went to buy my first car,a FWD or automatic car is not a "sports" car..Those cars are for women who can't drive and men who refuse to accept manhood.That was 20 some years ago and IM0 it still holds true today.

+1 million zillion on all points. Plus, try to get yourself a (good!) instructor at autox. You'll learn much faster and it also increases the fun factor.

He was living his live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not his team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, he was free.

My daily driver is a G35 6spd in the beautiful blue color...with the brembo package. You've seen them, beautiful cars, gorqeous. A sports coupe....and a lump of lard. I have driven FWD cars at speeds that would clench balls of most people here one handed....the G35 I wont take past 110mph. SO not all RWD cars are sports cars, ...take the v6 mustangs lol.

Watch it with the blank statements, Technically I'm Gen Y and I've never owned a front wheel drive.

I thought it would be cool to do a little drift on a big left turn to show @Giccin that I was cool and I just lost it because of the power. The momentum just took me up the curb and into the building. The look on the lady who was working in the office I crashed into was absolutely priceless though! Although, she ended up getting a few stitches because of the glass that went into her forehead...


It's not too bad... But the entire front clip on the left side is crushed in and the frame damage is probably irreparable. So, I'm hoping to get a new FRS soon...


But that's what these cars are for, right?!?
You my good sir, are a troll. lmao
