He is one of the better drivers i have seen, and it runs in the family. His brother is a good driver too. Between both of them, they owned many bikes, cars and SUVs.
My dad owned an R31 Skyline fresh off the showroom in the old country, and said he topped it out many times driving on the country roads. I was 5 at the time, so i don’t remember much.
Too bad he has to drive a POS Dodge Stratus now. He drives it like a charm, but the damn thing has about 3 leaks along the entire drivetrain.
my dad drives a 2005 grand caravan with a dvd player console thing in it.
and a 1996 honda accord ex-r with VTEC!!!
but besides that he is a pretty conservative driver. however if someone does something that could endanger him he sure as hell lets them now.
i think one time i was in the car with him and someone cut us off HARD…, so he just fucking booted it up to this dude i think vtec kicked in (HAhahahahah) caught up to the dude got infront of him and tapped the brakes hard infront of the son of a bitch to scare him.
then the dude turned off to the ramp and he gave us a stare that i can’t describe. i think it was like “you’re fucking crazy and what did i do to deserve that” look but yea, i was staring right back at him with a big grin on my face.
My dads definatly a racer, his car is his office, and he definatly kno’s how to drive… Hes owned a sporty car since i was old enough to remember, and all V-Dubs, now hes gone with an 05 jetta tdi, fully equiped, the car is very hot, n it doesnt drive like any other diesel, things got balls!!
Just like my dad.
He loves driving the 240 when I have it working causes its a stick. Never really owned anything to special. But when he is in a rush to get somewhere he drives what ever he is in like its a Dukes of Hazzard episode. Just he stays on the road the whole time.
Wow back from the dead much? I didn’t even realize it till now.
My Dad got me into track racing as well. He’s very definitely a racer at heart.
He used to have a Porsche 944S hobby car, sold it and got a Volkswagen VR6 Jetta for a while, sold that and got an Infiniti G35 which he’s now planning on buying out, and potentially turboing later.
He took me to the track in the 944 a couple times back in the day, and I helped him perform all the mods on it (all suspension work, retained completely stock motor except cat-back exhaust).
He liked my 240 a lot, and he REALLY likes my Rx-7, but tells me his sportscar days are over. He’s more into the sport sedans now (ie. the G35)… aww well. He did say he wants to get another hobby car in a couple years; something old, british, and convertible just to cruise around in. shrug
My dad has always been into cars you still hear about all his mustang stories he owned quite a few of them… now he drives a GMC Sonoma and wants to do work to it so we made an agreement since i just bought my 240sx were going to help eachother on our cars He’s a speed demon!
My sisters dad never cared about cars or ever will as long as he is driving model that is the same as the year we are in. He doesn’t support me unless its school or sports. :squintfinger:
My mom’s boyfriend on the other hand had a 240 in 1990 and loves my car just as much as me.
i think hes niether, just likes a nice car, its an 02 altima with 17 motegi FF6 (wants to upgrade to 18s w/ deeper lip) eibach pro kit, nismo side skirts, front grills (upper/lower), eyelids, 22 auto headers, soon to be exhaust
i would say my dad is neither a racer or a ricer
hes more into the drifting b4 we got rid of are all wheel drive volvo he used to take it out drifting with me in the snow down dead streets going side to side
He’s a speed demon!
