Hachiroku ハチロク - 09 Mar 2007 17:52 GMT
On the way to a gig, had my amp in the back, stopped for a coffe and a
couple guys I knew were there (freezing their @sses off smoking outside)
and the one I didn't know was drooling on the tC. "You drive this thing
like it's supposed to be driven?"

Ooops...couldn't resist! Got to the apron, rolling about 8MPH, Clear to
the left, clear to the right, made it to 65 in about 6. WOW!!!!

You have to be at a dead stop to do a hole shot.  8)

 If Hachi had some cargo in the back that wasn't totally secured, you
don't want to stand on the gas in the middle of the turn.  Very
Exciting (in a bad sense) or Very Expensive things happen when you do
stuff like that.  

 I'm driving a van for work, and you have to drive like that if you
want the stuff to stay on the shelves.

 You ease it around the corner, float it over the gutter dip, make
sure the coast is still clear, THEN you can stand on the loud pedal.

 You cut it a lot closer when you spot a potential guttersnipe on
your Five and closing fast.  <--- Passing Side *  * Suicide --->  

 I'm Much Bigger than you, I saw you coming, and I'm NOT lifting my
foot.  You are more than welcome to hit the back of that parked car up
ahead if you'd like...

Well, I had it secured...sort of...

But it was still pretty exhilirating...

As I think we all know, I had a van for my amps and 'stuff' before. In
all honesty, I like carrying my stuff in a hatch because there is less
room to move around. We used to pack the van to keep it from shifting, but
there was still room left over...

Short of a collision stuff might roll around. But the only thing my Supra can do that would
make objects in the car go flying is stomping the brakes at high speed.

Do that at 120+ mph and everything and everyone not strapped down is going to eat the dashboard hard.
