Yes, those were hypothetical situations. I would never go 82mph around said turn on my bike, which means leaning hard enough that the front tire starts to lose a little traction and you borderline sh*t yourself. Or so I'd imagine.

I gotta stop jacking peoples' threads lol

yea im a bad influence on you making you jack threads
but actually your posts are relative since its what you love about driving which just happens to be keeping traction at high speeds (hypothetically)

What I love about driving my new car is the power it has. You can feel it everytime it shifts. I love hearing that v8 roar. I also love how luxurious it is.
I just hate the gas mileage haha.

Power = 215bhp... that's not a lot.
V8 roar = legitimate point
Luxurious = LOL... it's a T-bird. You want luxury, get a 5-series BMW.

That's an outer CV boot. I assumed we were dealing with an inner boot (that's the one that always seems to tear on subarus anyway), though I could be wrong. But yeah, outer boots throw grease all over the wheel.

Oh ok.

Civics tend to rip the outer driver side boot from what I have seen.

215bhp yeah... but 280 torque. It's a massive difference from my civic. I think its the tourque that gets me.

It's luxurious to me. It has EVERY power option, leather, all that. My civic had none of that.
