recent events have forced me to upgrade the brakes on my saturn, and put stickies in the front. Aparently it can go fast enought to make me poor but can’t out brake certain vehicles so someone will be sad they tailgated me car in the near future. just be aware. don’t tailgate me unless you know you can stop faster. saturn is getting 11.6" front rotors with cobra calapers. and either DR’s mounted backwards or azenis in the front. ---

I used to love it when you would smoke out tailgater’s with the old engine. That shit was hilarious, but damn for the brakes holy overkill I can only begin to wonder how that setup will be with 1000lbs less behind it. :lol: So this this mean you’ll be rocking two fancy rims, and two steelies on the beater? ---

Don’t brake check the Expedition. You’ll think it’s fun until the fire department is washing you off my front bumper with a hose. 😉 ---

I don’t tailgate 90% of the time i drive. the 10% i do, is when i need to be somewhere quickly. Brake checking will just piss me off. and besides, you never know what kind of person you just pissed off. ---

I have done it once, but it was slight, more of a heavy tap than slamming the brakes to let them know i didnt appreciate it. In those few instances, i couldnt see there headlights they were so close. and with my car, Im only gonna get money from them. So. Maybe i did see a rabbit run in front of the road. ---

It can be done from a roll. But how do you do it from a dig, because everyone knows roll racing is lame. 🙂 ---
