do you guys have like a song or something you're singing to yourself

or

are you doing lean-turn angle calibration/constant road feedback calculations/etc in your mind the whole time

i'm witholding my comments till after a few responses...

6/17/2006 8:11:44 PM

My mind goes blank. I just DO.


No. I'm not kidding.

6/17/2006 9:03:41 PM

last thing you want in your head is more distractions.

fuck some music.
if you are driving hard, pay attn to the road.

hell, pay attn, no matter how hard you drive

6/17/2006 9:40:35 PM

if im driving hard, im def paying attention to the road, scanning ahead, listen to my engine, getting road feedback etc.

but if im just crusing on the interstate, im prob listen to music thinking about what i have coming up etc. or getting road head

6/17/2006 9:44:25 PM

sometimes the mental jukebox gets goin, if its just a relaxing cruise in low traffic

and i do the over-analysis of turns on a regular basis too... glad to know i'm not the only one

6/17/2006 9:50:41 PM

It depends what I'm driving and where.

Just cruising, I'm usually thinking about what the hell ever is on XM.

My Ranger (can only cruise along) I'm usually going along with Opie & Anthony in the AM. On the ride home after work I'm usually thinking about how much more fun the drive would be in my Z-28.

In the Z-28 its all about the road and shit, unless I'm just cruising stoplight to stoplight in town. For the most part though I'm listening to the wind, the handling of the road, all that shit. Esp. if I start going fast. But for the most part I like to listen to some power metal or something like that when I'm doing driving like that.

6/17/2006 9:55:11 PM

i still haven't figured out why "slow ride" makes me wanna drive fast.

6/17/2006 10:04:10 PM

i don't really think. i like to just drive, but glance at all the other cars on the road. think ab what drivetrain they have, what truck i want. it's sad

6/17/2006 11:06:59 PM

getchoooo a waggy

cheap, tons of potential (build an efi 360)
1 ton axles
i mean c'mon

6/17/2006 11:09:35 PM

They see me rollin'
They hatin'
Patrollin' and tryin catch me ridin dirty

6/17/2006 11:14:11 PM

a waggy only has dana 44s. and if i was gonna do an efi conversion, i'd do a 401 but even then i wouldn't want that. if i do axles again, it's 60's or 60/70 or 60/80. then i'll be good, at least for awhile

6/17/2006 11:16:42 PM

hahaha yeah... i really want an early bronco with an HD 9" in the rear (actually 10 and some change)
and a Currie 9" w/ dana 60 knuckles up front

then the typical manual driveline nv4500 atlasII 403 stroker (351) possibly with some boost
and full coilover conversion

/ dream rig.

6/17/2006 11:20:22 PM

if i ever do a 9" i'm gonna do a hi-9. those things are awesome.

6/17/2006 11:25:51 PM

Back on track now..


[Edited on June 17, 2006 at 11:49 PM. Reason : off track]

6/17/2006 11:34:32 PM

well since i dont have a stereo right now(damn ass thieves), its pretty much listening to the engine, figuring out the most fun way to take the next corner, and watching out for all the other dumbasses on the road...

6/17/2006 11:42:31 PM

yes, i should have included portals on my list. i actually was thinking of them, but didn't put them on there. rockwells could also be included. but that'd be like last build of the tj. even w/ 60's i'd hopefully have a tow rig. workin on that one. maybe by the end of the summer i'll have a diesel truck. i'd love that

6/17/2006 11:43:40 PM

I think about the other cars and what i'd like to have in my garage some day.

6/17/2006 11:50:00 PM

EFI 360 is gonna be much easier and cheaper to piece together than a 401. They're fucking hard to find.

6/17/2006 11:51:05 PM

that's why i'd do a 401. unique on that note.

Most of my driving in long distances so its all about time...whats my ETA? Past record, etc.

6/18/2006 12:08:29 AM

When I'm covering long distances in the truck, I actually step it down. 55 or 60 is ideal, though it takes longer. I have to force myself to relax and enjoy the scenery.

She tops out at 75 on a straight, and will come close to 80 on a downgrade or with a good tailwind, but she'll beat you to death and deafen you.

6/18/2006 12:20:49 AM

hahah i got up to 82 gps in a 74 landcruiser with header exhaust 4" lift 33s and a webber.

it was funny... toook miles

6/18/2006 12:27:14 AM

wait

some of you don't listen to music in cars?

i totally made this thread for motorcycles

i could never imagine not having something coming through the speakers in a 4-wheel vehicle

6/18/2006 12:35:37 AM

yeah i thought so... but i thought hey maybe i'm dumb maybe some people mean inside

but i know i've never ridden a car.

6/18/2006 12:50:45 AM

"no brakes" off of old offspring cd sometimes when i start goin really fast

6/18/2006 1:35:45 AM

i have no radio at the moment, that's why i said what i said. i miss my music/bass got my replacement alpine comin on the 25th though.

6/18/2006 1:49:33 AM

I run an iPod on the slab. My mind is on the ride in town and on back roads.

6/18/2006 2:31:57 AM

When I'm driving hard I listen to the symphony composed by the car.

When I get off of work or go to work I usually listen to NPR.

On roadtrips I make special playlists.

6/18/2006 2:47:45 AM

^ i bet you drive a saab

6/18/2006 2:48:50 AM

most of the time im listening to the bike engine since i dont have tach's on either of mine. I'm also always watching for what dumb ass bitches will do. i "squint" my eyes while riding bc im concentrating on not getting hit avoiding shit etc..

very few times i open my eyes and realize what a nice day it is or some gay shit like that. usually when that happens im not paying attention to my full abilities and some fag cuts me off where i slam on the loud car horn mounted to the hawk or just cruise right next to them flicking them off for the next couple of miles.

6/18/2006 6:40:43 AM

i'm thinkin about how i need to fix my passenger front speaker cause it goes out and i have to beat it to get it goin while i'm drivin about once a mile

6/18/2006 12:18:37 PM

btw

i made this thread because i had the line from that joe walsh song, the line where he says "my maserati does 185, i lost my license so now i don't drive" stuck in my head the whole time i was riding yesterday
