The snow hit the ground in my town today
Inspiring thoughts of country roads to play
Sadly he's on jack stands in the garage
Being prepared for adventures that await us
Finally determined a simple mudflap design that will be easy to remove for special occasions. Then my cheap "nut insert" tool broke last night. So that means I need to cram this morning to try and get a bunch of things accomplished.
Meeting my friend for 4 hours of driving today. He's been a driving mentor of mine, but I don't think he left foot brakes. I'm going to show him what I've learned, but I wish he had his own car to try it in... it's hard on the car. My personal goal is to combine pendulum turns... you know left into right into left, much like what is seen on this video.
No wonder the car is terrible to drive after last weekend. Winter or summer, either mud or snow packs up and makes for a very imbalanced rotation. Anyone know a solution?
Ummm, being new at this I was concerned about this (because I feel sick when reading in a car), but it not a problem. Perhaps because very short segments of reading?
Let’s enjoy the legend Walter is in 5 of his best quotes in my opinion
“A car is fast enough when you’re afraid to unlock it in the morning.”
“When you see the tree you’re driving into you have understeer, but if you can heer it you have oversteer.”
“Driving starts when you steer your car with the gaspedal not with the steering wheel.”
“Good drivers have dead flies on the sidewindows.”
“When accelerating the tears of joy have to flow horizontally to your ear.”
Nuts in place for front mudflaps. Tool failure after tool failure. Sadly I had to use imperial threads but they are done.
The flaps are about 1" too low I found while turning & braking hard the flaps touch a bit.
Was hoping the stiff plastic flap material would be rigid enough, but had to fab up some stiffeners.
Decided to run with these old 15" dogs yesterday. And save wear and tear on my soft ice tires.
Had to touch the brake pedal 6 times within 2 hours of driving in the dark last night. Need to carry this incase I need to slit the throat of a deer. My friend designed this knife & it was a gift.

Wheel scrapers. Think of them as mud flaps that constantly scrape the inside of the wheel to keep mud and snow from building up. Finding the right attachment points and angle are the trick. Looks like you're already messing with similar concepts and materials.
Noah -
It's mentioned in many of your threads previously - but you still seem to think LFB is some amazing driving tool. It is for FWD and AWD. NOT for RWD! It has its place - but not as much as I think you think it is. I'll bet the guy in your video hardly ever touched the brake pedal (with either foot).
