Threads are a rarity as we mostly hang out in our own dedicated Slack chat. If you want in, just post up your email (it can be a throwaway), and you'll be invited in. We do actually discuss things of an automotive nature, don't fear. It's not all degeneracy.

Is Takeshi actually the better driver between him and Takumi? As he said himself, a driver is only as good as his car. No matter how skilled the driver may be, if his car doesn't measure up with the driver's skill then he won't win.
So that got me thinking, if if Takeshi's R32 GT-R didn't have that issue with the wheel thing that caused him to spin out after turning too hard, would he have won? And obviously Takumi's 86 isn't a normal 86, because it's been worked on by Bunta for years.
no.
nakazato spun out cause he's a shit driver.
and are you sure he didn't say a car is only as a good as his driver? cause that would make a lot more sense.
>>17503286
I'm trying to find the scene where talks about it, but can't seem to find it. On his wiki page it says:
>He also believed that no matter what skill a driver has, a car will not run beyond its capabilities.
And I wouldn't say he's a shit driver, just that his car failed him during critical moments.
>>17503271
I only know that Takeshi Nakazato is a much more interesting character than Takumi, that's for sure. Shit, even his theme song is fucking awesome.

I also (sadly) have worked at Vatozone for a year. Never mind your managers skimming your overtime, thieves eying your car, niggers dealing dope in the parking lot, and crackheads digging g through the trash for receipts to do false returns. Gotta sell those stupid WITTDTJR packets to please our happy merchant overlords!
>>17502625
Kek at least you (probably) aren't doing 10k a day. Worst part for me is doing shit for people without any appreciation or tip. Bouta quit and get a job as a tire tech so I can too those same people off
