Not to mention F1 brakes have to be up to temperature (hot) to work properly.

I'm just glad I made it through that phase without any accidents. When I first got my lude at 16 I definitely drove like a douche.

Speeding has never ever killed anyone. It's the suddenly stopping that does!

Neat little vid though. Anyone catch how fast they were going before they hit the cones?
I was reading the comments and it said 120mph to 0

Interesting videos. Some of them are blown out of proportion though.
When it seems a bit too hollywood, it also loses some of the effect with me.

I forgot what that pinky gesture means?

I'm chinese so these things don't get passed down. My grandpa was so confused when I shrugged instead of saying "I dont know".

I didn't know either so I looked it up and found:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...6192517AAAcOSD

In Australia the RTA launched a "little pinkie"-campaign which showed women crooking their little fingers at young men in fast cars: the 'little pinkie' hand gesture infers the men have small penises which they try to make up for by driving fast/in a showy way.

Crikey, guess it's an Aussie thing

You're absolutely correct. Its genetic and thats why girls wave their pinkies at you.
