Default Totally OT post cause I am bored ..

Went out tonight to grab pizza for the family for dinner .. jumped in the maxima and took off . it was pouring and i took a right turn to fast ( i was trying to get around before the other light turned .. )
Anyway the back end decides to start coming around , so I just kind of let it as i was on the gas and figured i would just steer into it a little.. then it started to really come around .. i was not worried in the least as i would just need a little more steering input and didn't even think i would drift out of my own lane .. then BANG .... the back brakes come and i could tell first the left .then about half a second later the right ... and the back end snaps back in line .. I must have triggered the yaw sensor .. i was very impressed with the way the car recovered .. not much fun driving though .. i am switching that damn thing off .

I had a G35 from 03-06. It had the yaw too. When I test drove one the first time, the sales guy loved making me get the car out of shape. We must've done it 10 times. He was a nut, but probably the best car salesman I've ever worked with.

Turn auto-braking and auto-shifting off on Forza! Cheating!

I'm terrible at the game it but the one thing I have discovered is that it reacts way better if you trail brake.

today was my first time.. I played "DIRT" on the PS3 for a while now, beat all the levels but not all of them on expert....only about 1/2

I really want a good wheel and pedal set up and move it to the big screen... it looks fun, I will have to dink around withit and see if I get hooked like I did with DIRT

I want to build a frame to use my extra Recaro and mount my wheel/pedals to. You can buy them for about $350 or so, but I may build one this winter.
