true you gotta give some gas with the car. i was the same way when i first got my car i would either peel out or kill it eventually you just know how much to give. the truck though all you do is press the clutch put it in gear and let the clutch out nice and easy.

since some are talking about the first thing they drove i guess i will, the first thing i drove was my dads truck a f350 back in 02'

Could be because the clutch in the truck is slipping. Also you don't get as much feedback in a large vehicle.

But keep going with the Civic, it's best to learn in a car that's harder to drive :wink:

I wanted to drive the Civic after being in the truck for a bit, but I didn't feel like going home, then back out again. :P Some other time, though, definitely. ;)

No because the combination of drinking and driving is seriously uncool,
Risking peoples lives can never be cool, look I don't care about what you do with your own life, but risking other peoples lives is anything but cool.

GROW UP!

Natural selection is good, but sadly most of the times they take innocent people with them in a crash.

^ Very True. Driving might be COOL but when u either kill a passenger or a pedestrian, it aint so cool then. At least you will have prison to look forward to. I heard thats COOL too (sarcasm)

You can powerslide though. Lift-off oversteer is the single scariest thing in a car, ever. :D

No it's not. Driving at 10 PM when a Highway Patrol Charger is behind you is... atleast when your only 13! :wink:

Thank god we know every cop in the city! :P (Except the one who almost arrested me once. :? )

That's for something totally different. Then he realized he had the wrong guy. doodle Head Cop

That is one scary thing, had it once with a Ford Escort, I thought I could take a corner with just under 60 km, but it went understeering alot so I let go of the accelerator and it went to oversteer within a second. I kept the car on the road but it was damn scary.

It's also about 30 times more difficult to control than power oversteer.

Explain me why you can't..

Pull the handbrake while turning and you get oversteer.. Lift off while turning sharply and you'll most likely get oversteer too. The weight suddenly shifts to the front and the back end sways out.

Enter a turn fast enough to achieve understeer, then remove your foot from the accelerator and turn the wheel a half turn either direction. Dependon on the car, you'll either roll it, or end up facing the way you were going.

You're an idiot.

Any instance where the rear of the car turns more than the steering input indicates, or where the rear wheels of the car have a greater slip angle than the front, can be classified as oversteer.
