Cars and other kinds of motoring gibberish

What's your insurance gonna be?

It can't be cheap considering it's a G35. :sweat:

Way back when I was looking at M3s, the insurance was gonna cost me $3K+ per year... :sweat:

Yeowch.

I'm not exactly sure....but i'm not going to be fully covered since it'll be way too expensive :sweat: :sweat:


@Krim: I'm sure i'll be getting less then 15miles on the streets if I do all that stuff.... :beaten: :beaten:

Is that a good idea?? :headscratch:

I'm with Krim: plan your upgrades wisely... Springs and stuff are functional, spoilers aren't (unless you're planning on going 100+mph)... And engine engine mods could stick you come smog time.

no offense KT, but with your recent car history i think it would be unwise to not fully insure it (esp for theft). Of course, if you've paid it off, and dont mind the risk, it's not up to me.

Agreed... A real-world scenario has to be considered. :sweat:

None taken :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I think my dad is just afraid if i'm in another accident and it be my fault. Insurance will go up again and it'll be much to expensive.

I think he's paying insurance for himself, his wife, my brother and I. So i can understand that. I think i'll be able to be fully covered again once that one accident caused by me is off my record.

I don't remember how long an accident stays on your record. Is it 3 years? If so, those 3 years will be up come Sept. maybe....or was it Oct. :sweat: :sweat:


Will consider the mods and all. The car handles great right now....so I'll drive it as is for while. It'll be long time before do anything to it.

dont expect it to go down too much, you're male and you're under 25 AND you're driving a 2 door pseudo-luxury sports coupe. When i first got my Acura, my insurance was ~$2400/yr, full coverage 50/100/50/8, no points.

Thanks man.

Now I don't have to get my hopes too high :hehe: :hehe: :beaten: :beaten:

Oh this is the car thread that I've been looking for, ano guys I want to ask something about doing 180degrees u-turn, how do you exactly do that?? :woot: :woot:

on the discussion of accidents, my friend passed her driving test last wednesday and rolled her mother's car on thursday! she clipped a parked car while being distracted by talking with her passenger.

experience is coming at a price for her. :shakehead:

its bad luck.. btw one my friend became so good at driving after he had his accident, I wonder why, maybe he is proofing himself that he is not abad driver..

Just keep turning the wheel in the direction you want to make the u-turn :hehe: :hehe:

Well I drive 1 handed, so i push the palm of my left or right hand into the handle part of the wheel and make a circle with it....sorta say.

If say you doing 2 handed driving and wanting to make u-turn left...you turn left and as you turn left, when your hands can't turn no more thats when you do left hand over right, right hand over left....and you continue till you have made the U-turn.


Hopefully i made some sense and if I didn't, hopefully someone else can explain better.

Sorry I wasn't clear of my question, I mean the high-speed 180degrees turn which is occasionally showed in high-speed car chase movie or something, the one that use handbrake or something, I'm just ordinary driver not a racer or smething, but a few days ago my friend said that he did the speed-u-turn and he said its basically the same way as you do it in racing game or something, so I was intrigued to ask this :mrgreen:

i've done this on ice at slow speed. you just turn and apply handbrake.
it's riskier on dry tarmac as you need more speed and i wouldn't recommend it on a public road.

Ice ne~ but we don't even have snow here.. :shamefulcry: :shamefulcry:
So its pretty much the same, just turn and apply handbrake, naruhodo

if you need your speed kicks try karting. you can spin them round using just the throttle. it's good fun. :woot:

Thats a good idea, I'll try it if I have a free time, thanks :woot: :woot:

every year i organise a karting event for my friends. we have 20 people in 5 teams of four and do a 2hr race changing drivers at certain intervals. it's a good laugh and is more tiring than you might imagine.

good luck if you do it. :mrgreen:
