Re: /facepalm
 

i need to sit him down and have a little talk with him, lmao.

Re: /facepalm
 

Lol, hopefully you have some smarter friends to make up for this one.

Re: /facepalm
 

break out the match box cars and do a dramatization for him as to what happens

Re: /facepalm
 

And make a vid, that would be epic!

Re: /facepalm
 

LOL like an after school special!

Re: /facepalm
 

i had a team mate that had 300 lbs in his trunk and in his back seat of his 4 door g6 ......i laughed when he got stuck and just drove past

Re: /facepalm
 

tell him he needs about 1,000lbs in his trunk!

Re: /facepalm
 

maybe its not such a bad idea, i mean what if you had just an amount of weight to equal to weight of the front end...? so you had the same amount of weight over both axles. perhaps this would allow it to track better...?

IDK tho, I have never owned a car or a FWD vehicle for that matter! lol

Re: /facepalm
 

Weight in the trunk of a FWD car will just make it worse. It cantilevers weight off the front, makes the wheels have to drag more weight, and adds to the momentum to stop and steer.

Definitely get a video camera ready.

Re: /facepalm
 

All I can say is WOW! You have to take a video of him driving it in some snow and ice.

Re: /facepalm
 

e-brake slides! it will have more momentum to spin!

Re: /facepalm
 

if its even remotely icy he will pull that, regardless of the road we're on. he's not the brightest.
