One thing I've learned in life the hard way is: trust your gut, your old man doesn't know it all.

Sucks anon

I think Junior might be missing the bit where he totaled the car.

I was lucky (or unlucky) in that my dad was always there to teach me what not to do, but only after I had done it. He waited for me to make a mistake before he showed me what I had done wrong, and how to avoid it.

I unplugged my ABS/TC fuse because that shit sucked. ABS tries to keep you in a straight line but if you fucked up before you hit the brakes, a straight line isn't always what you want. TC was trash to begin with and since I installed LSD it's literally useless.

>ABS tries to keep you in a straight line

You're fucking retarded if you think this

>>16651417
Then a straight line is a symptom of ABS' function, semantics fuckboi.

>>16651405
You can't be serious. Being able to control your stop better is what ABS is all about. That's why people used to pump the brakes. It allowed your wheels to spin and give you slight control as you pumped.

I hope this was bait.

Too fast, too slow, didnt stop long enough at the stop sign, literally honks for me if someone cuts me off, if the light turns green and i don't go in 0.0005 seconds, "why we waiting so long", tells me to pull up next to cars that did something wrong so he can give them "the look". The second I say something back, he gets mad and doesn't speak to me for a week.

WHAT THE FUCK I WISH I WAS MAKING THIS UP

>doing 65 in a 65 in the left lane
>doesn't pull to the right until tailgating

Please kys anon, I absolutely hate people like you. Make my daily drive more difficult.

people who drive without ABS are either suicidal or literally don't know what they're doing

>All the practicing literally saved my ass a couple times

But hey, if some random anon says I don't know what I'm doing, that must be true I guess.
