This is how you learn.

This.

It will be expensive, but you will learn.

Take this for example, I tried to rip a skid in my Integra and this is what happened. First rule of skids is that you never practice around curbs.

>he thought just buying a sportscar would make him good at being a car enthusiast
I don't think you know what it is to BE an enthusiast.

Or an autist, I don't know the difference.

Sick camber bro

Lease German car, beat it up for few years, no need to fix nothing

>>17256066
i'm enthusiastic about my car is that enough

>>17255978
The stud I broke isn't an easy solution, the resulting problem is going to cost me probably a few hundred to fix and I can't drive it hard until I do.

Learning sure is expensive.

>>17256230
How is it going to cost a few hundred to fix a wheel stud?

>>17256207
Yes.

dont listen to these spergs who claim you need to be XYZ to be an "enthusiast", just ignore them and laugh when they almost overcorrect off a cliff at 5mph.
