Follow these steps and you should be fine:

1) Learn about safety as good as you're learning performance. I see that you started modding the FX so start modding the brakes and learn more about traction control etc as well
2) DON'T EVER NEVER merge FOUR FCKING LANES. EVER! Seriously man, it's not a game.
3) TURN your head each time you're merging instead of complaining about blind spots.
4) Take it slow on starting threads on every question you have.

The last one is MY opinion. Cool if you don't follow up but people will get tired of your threads soon and you won't get good answers..

please dont feel like this is a flame.
But, how much experience can you have when you only have a provisional license?
experience comes with time and practice, just drive safe. There was a horror story here about a teen with a BMW....ran out of road... tragic.

But if you had some sort of racing instruction and road race experience that would help allot. Still need to read other drivers minds sometimes....

enjoy the ride:rolleyes:

Yeah, i've thinking that, i'm gonna lay off the threads for now and limit the activity just because i feel like it. cools.
 
yeah guys dont attack him just for a question. I'm young too and i consider myself a decent driver...but not obviously the best ever. Turbo probably rememebrs when i almost misse the exit at the heckshire park/ocean pkwy meet and nearly spun out. it was stupid, but I've gone to ginormous empty parking lots...no loght poles, just acres of parking spaces, perfectly flat...just to test out the limits--like how sharp a turn i can make,,,,stopping distance form speed, setup cones for evasive manuevers. You never know what you/your fx can do unless you are sure. i suggest you do somehting similar, and me and most of my young "car dude" friends do. we go test out our cars in a giant open lot. I find it helps me be able to know what i can handle and what ym fx can do. I've tested it in fresh rain, the rain, pouring rain, the snow, snowing, fresh snow, ice, puddles, etc--jsut to see hwo the fx handles it.


instead of blowing up jsut be positvie

i suggest you find a track/ginourmous open lot with no lightpoles and stuffl--to swee what your fx can do.

have fun! be careful!

Mike,

Sometimes you don't have to drive like a douche bag just to be cool. Okay...I understand how it feels like to get a quick car when your young. It's exciting, I know. But for gods sake keep it safe. You say your experienced driving in terrible weather and what not. Bottom line is, that don't mean shit. By the things you say and describe how you drive, your mentality is like the little shit that totaled my last car when he sped up to beat the light. Stupid kid was driving a new BMW 3 series and was cocky as fuck when he got out.
Please, drive a little more responsible before you kill yourself or worse somebody else.

...and as for your little ABS question...

LEARN YOU SOME...

your "experience"can kiss my freckled ass

i know ur aggravated because i would be also...i hate kids like that...but ive put in 5,000 miles on my FX and have driven through all weather conditions even before the FX. i drive safely and defensively normally but have fun WITH caution once in a while. i always double check including on the incident in this post, with the white trailblazer probably matched the greyish white sky. i never beat red lights and never even speed up through yellows. i also never speed on local roads knowing that ppls lives are around me and in my hands. if i was really one of those other kids out there would i be getting a $47K car. i dont think so, and dont say because i come from a rich family, because i'm from an average one. i know this kid who has around a $500 car but has had 2 accidents ever since. i have never had an accident or a ticket and hopefully and contiunually never will. do you think my whole fam would trust me with all their cars including my cuz's G35 coupe which she doesn't even trust her dad with? no i dont think so. so next time you decide to compare me to other kids around my age, think again. but thanks for your post reply, and i truly do understand where ur coming from.:smile:

lol.... this thread is funny.... I can see how a 17yr old without any accidents can percieve themselve as driving god because a lot of their peers had previous retarded accidents.... but then I had a friend in HS that totalled like 3 or 4 cars in one year and still percieved himself as an awesome driver.... beats me why he'd think that but yah.... experiance is not something you can build in only a year or 2 simply because not much crazy situations can happen in just a year or 2..... funny how you didnt know what ABS feels like though.... maybe the FX has much better traction but i'd still think it'd kick in sometimes going down a slippery hill on a rainy day to a stop light

driving in the wind is scary shit sometimes when you going highway speeds and suddenly a gust of wind just knocks your car around and might even cause the car to change direction which you'd have to correct....

thick pillars hiding pedestrians is hella scary too hahaha I guess having those thick front pillars give more structural integrity but it does cause a problem with the blind spot... had the same problem in my frontier but the murano not so much....person just magically appears out of nowhere and makes you hit the brakes....

i've driven in wind also, with rain.
 
hehe, if this was my350z.com, this thread would have gotten so out of hand. like your having driven 5k miles, i guarantee someone would jump on you for that, given what i have seen over there. :rolleyes:
anyways, kids have been trusted with cars that are worth much more than $47K. needless to say, they probably shouldnt have. (see BMW reference from this thread, or another one you started that was along these same lines)
