That’s true. Why would anyone care about what you care about? No one in this world really cares about anything anymore. lol

honestly,
i care.
& I’m pretty sure everyone else cares about how everyone else drives…
because I know when im on the road I care enough about my own life that i hope the other people know how to drive.

Amen to that brother.
It’s not so much about endangering lives. I think they just look retarded
and I wonder what they are trying to show/prove by sitting like idiots.

It’s because their seats are so far back to get that “gangsta look” while driving in a parking lot, but when they are actually driving, they need to move all the way to the front so dat they can see over the steering wheel. They have no sense of judgement and they need to see all of the road in front of them.
Which makes me wonder… why didn’t they just adjust their seat to be right at the front in the first place + adjust the height of the seat (for those who can) and then they will be able to see the whole road. :lol:
lol imagine a ricer riding a motorbike like that. lol :lol:
I think that is exactly why they lean so far forward.

We have a winner that is exactly true.
When working at Nissan I drove alot of different peoples cars. Sometimes I had the misfortune of having to drive crappy cars, real disgusting smelling cars, and rice cars. Now I would never adjust anything when i got in these cars cause I don’t want the customer or manager yelling at me because I messed around with a customer car. Which happened once, but thats a different story.
Back to the main point when getting in the car of somebody who prefer’s the laid back look. The only way to drive and be able to see where and what is infront of you is too sit forward and hold your self up with the steering wheel.
That’s the only reason I can think they do it.

That can explain one person driving another pesron’s car. But what about
the owner themselves driving it? What’s stopping them from adjusting it
so they aren’t leaning forward.

Gonad, read my post. It’s right before his. Like I said, they like to have that “laid back” look while driving in a parking lot and such. (Because it’s cool?) But when it comes to actual driving, they lean forward because they can’t drive in the “laid back” position because it’s too far back for them to see forward. In other words, it’s really gay.

:hsugh:
So they must be racing 99% of the time, even through 40km/h school zones.
I know spd-dmn (Mike) does this. 🤣
When I first met him to go check out the 240 (that he now owns), he
pulled up in an Integra and I was like :hsugh:
He’s still a :bigok: guy though, now that he owns a 240.[/quote]
Before Gautam starts pointing fingers, lets remind him of how he drives at the track:
Taken from his own video. Now if you watch the video carefully, he does it not once, not twice, but 3 times. haha, just busting your balls gonad, i mean… ricer.

Pavel : 🤣
I cringe everytime I see that video. And I admit to ‘driving’ like a ricer.
But my vid is of how I hold the steering wheel. I am talking about the
people leaning forward.
Definitely :owned:
🤣
Still, you’re such a nerd for going through all that trouble…

I think the guys all up on the wheel are too busy tryin to look cool when their rollin…
Unlike most of the 240 people where we already know we got it going on so we just cruise.

I forced myself the 9-3 position after I realized how ghetto I was after
looking at my video 🤣
It’s becom e a habit now that I pretty much carry in any vehicle. Unless
it’s a long drive, then I usually hold left hand at 7 o’clock.

Yeah most ricers do lean towards the stearing wheel but they also lean towards the left. in the winter time their heads are like bouncing off the window and in the summer their heads are almost out the window, I think they like to listen to the sound of their fart cans. …Oh yeah and the hat is tiped slightly to the left as well and they try to get that “Growing up Gotti look” too. :lol:
