Actually, I do have an LSD in my MR2. It was one of the first things I bought and had installed. I'm not a tranny man, so I left that to the professionals. It's a sweet TRD unit too, so I knew it would work flawlessly.

I'll check into the tranny swap, but I'm still leaning towards having my gears changed out, especially at the top end.

my first car was a 96 maxima and my front brake calliper screw poped out on the freeway, the whole calliper was held by one screw, once i heard a weird noise i pulled over and just as i did front right tyre locked up

If i didnt pull over i would have rolled the car going 80 and killed everyone in the car.

I have a couple stories of something stupid I did.

One happened yesterday.
THe other day I was almost a victim to my own poetic justice. I was following a guys tail bumper really close cuz he was doin like 20 in a 30mph zone. I wanted him to speed up, plus my car has the same 60-0 on its stock rims and tires (I have modified rims and tires) as a Ferrari F40 so even if he were to brakecheck me, my car stops pretty damn quickly from having its weight in the middle, over the braking tires.

Anyhoo, the man then stopped in the middle of the twolane road. Gets out. Proceeds to tell me to stop tailgating him and give him space. I said "I can go around if you like" he didnt say anything. Well me being kinda mad that the guy is driving like an old lady in the first place, and then asks me in a car that is quite outstanding at stopping compared to his SUV needs to worry about a little MR2 Turbo maybe hitting his 4000lb tank of a car, well i decided best to go around him.

So I started to spool up and go around him and over the double yellow line. Right then, somebody pulling out, I guess wanted to go on the "right" side of the road, while I was on the "weong" side.

Had I been in a normal car, it might have been a close accident, but the MR2 Turbo can stop as quickly as it picks up which it did and it wasnt even close, but both me and him then stopped, I saw I still had space though, and spooled past the car pulling out as it had seen me on the wrong side and stopped.

Yea, it was still rude of him to actually stop the car and ask, if he dont want to tailgate do atleast 5 under the speedlimit or more or something, but speed the [censored] up.

However I was an idiot for maybe having almost crashed my
car right then and there.

A couple years ago a guy called me a *** while I was driving my miata. It created a bad road rage incident as I proceeded to cut him off, and throw things at his car at half the speed of traffic, trying to get him to pull infront of me.

I decided to get a less girly car after that incident and got the mr2 turbo instead. Havent been called a *** driving that car.




Sounds like you have a problem with both patience and people skills.  Pulling *** like that in the wrong place at the wrong town can get you either a severe ass beating or else shot.  It's good that you admit here and now that it was poor judgment, but I can say from personal experience nothing pisses me off more than people who are in too damn big a hurry.

Thats y I like to carry a 9 in my car :P

Really if ppl werent *** on the roadway, [censored] like this wouldnt happen. If someone is tailgating you, one good way to make the situation worse is to stop and get out and point out there tailgating you.

ANother way to create a road rage incident is to call a young adolescenet male who is having hard times and down on his luck, a *** while he was driving his favorite car. Cant say they didnt start [censored] first.

A 9 eh? I just have my tyre wrench jamed beside my seat (its not an X, its like a heavy metal bat) Because having a bat in the car is illigal unless you have a glove and balls with it, other wize its considered a weapon. Plus i don't [censored] with people if they can easyly spot and kick my ass.

If you're in the vehicle it's not much good, but if you can get out...well, did you ever play Halo?

when i was 14 me and my friend snuck out of his house and took his parents audi out for a spin.  we got up to 131mph on I128/95.  Thats the fastest i have ever gone and it was probly the dumbest thing ive ever done, dont recomend it. Especially considereing niether of us had a liscense or anything so we could have gotten totally *** not to mention if crash you WILL die.

back about two years ago me and six of my friends took this guys moms town and country out to go get ice cream. well we changed our mind and wanted to get food instead so we turn down a back road knowing there was a bad railroad. one of the guys yelled jump it so the guy driving got the van going and we hit the incline at 75 mph not know that the other side pretty much dropped off. we went about 25 feet into the air and landed a good 75 feet after the tracks. after everyone calmed down we finished our trip and took the van back. the total damage almost totaled the van. we cracked the motor, broke the radiator and transmission, bent the frame, snapped the rear cross member, knocked all the lights out of the headliner, bent door frames, and rippled roof. It was a good thing it wasnt the primary transportation for the guys mom.
