Gary R.

No apology is called for Utkinpol, this is an open forum and most of us are here to learn and help others learn. I'm not sure at this point that there may be a communication gap between your native language and English (do NOT take that as an insult, you speak at least one more language than I do). I've seen it throughout these pages and when I posted the quote about needing to know 60% of the answer you took it entirely the wrong way, thinking I was saying you shouldn't ask questions here. I was saying you don't know 60% of the answer(s) yet. You may think you do, but honestly you don't. Try this, though it may hurt, for help offered. "Thank you for the input!". Actually read and try to understand what the person is trying to tell you even if it isn't what you think you want to hear. If an answer seems demeaning it's most likely your ego responding. There simply isn't room for ego in the student's head, 1st thing you need to let go of.

We are all (even the smartass responses) trying to lead you to success, believe that and you will do well here and on the track.. Honest.

And we needed this to go 25.

well, we value each single dollar we get. and believe you or not - (almost ) ALL execs are like those ones.

i have seen in 10 years may be 2 or 3 projects had budgets and times agreed upon realistically to begin with. it is very rare.

no need to call me for it when i know it is due, Gary.
again, i stirred the pot intentionally, and received what i probably deserved.

now i know more than i knew before, even the exact way how to smash at a wall in turn 2a. but i does not mean i will do it, and i believe it is exact contrary, as of knowing where the danger is one will be protected from it better.

obviously it is a completely different speech altogether of what works best for some people, i try to analyze every step i make all the time so it is what i do. may be it is wrong btw, i do not know, but it is how i do it.

some communication language impaired gap does exist too, it is correct. it gets less with years but in conversations like this i am not all the time able to control it and it is fact and i am never insulted by facts. sentences compositions i use are naturally not English at all. sorry about that. in 10 more years hopefully it will get fixed... or not.

thanks, Paul.

PS. BTW you still think way too bad about me assuming i do imagine i know 60% of the answer. i do not usually and i `m aware of it.

[after the first hop, Maverick and Goose celebrate their victory over Jester, but Iceman and Slider tell everybody that they made the kill below the hard deck, which was not allowed.]
Maverick: Hard deck my ***. We nailed that son of a bitch. [gives Goose a high five]
Iceman: Wow, you guys really are cowboys.
Maverick: [Faces Iceman] What's your problem, Kazanski?
Iceman: [Slams helmet locker's door and faces Maverick] You're everyone's problem. That's because every time you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous.
Maverick: That's right! Ice...man. I am dangerous. [Iceman bites]
Jester: Maverick. [Maverick and Goose look at him], you and Goose get your butts outta that flight gear and up to Viper's office now. [Heads out of the locker room]
Slider: Remember, boys, no points for second place.
Goose: You're a lot brighter than you look-
Slider: Oh, you shut up.

So if you've made all this progress and learned all this new information, what is your plan with your tires? Still planning to go to your second event with r-comps?

Just curious

Thanks for the chuckle!

Hmmm...

The real wizzard behind the curtain continues to leak out in dribs and drabs. In another 25 pages or so we might actually have an idea of who you really are. Language barriers notwithstanding and fully excused, you almost communicate well when you are not trying to bate people. You should take it as a sign of just how much people want to help anyone who posts here that this thread went as long as it did. Beyond having some fun that has been sorely lacking here (at your expense, which you earned), people would just scoff "another ColorChange" and drop you like a tissue full of snot. They didn't. Think about that next time your delicate friends tell you that RL is too mean and nasty for their tender sensibilites.

People here simply want to share all of the fun they have driving with everyone else of like mind. That is why we all do what we do, especially the instructors. How could you possibly conceive of anyone more open minded than someone who would get into a potent car like yours without a clue as to how you will manage it at speed? Forgive us for being judgmental - in your eyes - but we have become hard wired with a keen instinct for bullshirt when we see it, and we call it out both for sport and for education. It is how we stay alive!

If you continue to correspond in the manner quoted above, you will be treated in kind. If you want to bait people... well... you see what happens. There isn't a one of us here that has not gotten batted around in the past for one thing or another. It's all good sport if you understand that you will get what you give, my friend. It's a full-throttle kind of place... naturally.

Flat out, even!

Nugget

Nothing on page 24 of a thread is anyone's immediate reaction to anything. You've had 24 pages to reinforce that perspective with your dogged and persistent immunity to feedback you aren't happy hearing.

Well stated .....Flat out

C'mon guys, keep this going. I'm in the pool for big money if the thread hits 30 pages.

BostonDMD

I think we just need VR to post some new pics and 30 pages should be no problemo.......
