Default Lift throttle almost OWNED my *** today, but...

So I was ripping thru a long exit/entrace ramp and when
I got to the middle point of the turn I see some smuck at the bottom in a pos nissan minivan sitting there waiting to get on the next hywy. Like I had a choice, I let go of the gas an Pop there goes the rear swinging aroung to my left and I now need to hit the brakes So I look up and ask, not here not now I lightly press the brakes and get it to stop before slammin into this smuck who had no idea that I was coming at him at full tilt.

After all this I see that he/she the smuck had a entrance ram at least 150 yrds long and there was no need to stop or for that matter slow down.

So after this I see how so many noobies can get into BIG trouble when not familar, but we all know that by now, anyway just had to share my lift throttle fun today...

I believe the term is schmuck.

Way to go making an onramp a life or death situation, it takes a special kind of driver to do that

He was probably a California driver.

...because I find you have to be very rough to rotate the ITR....

CRX drivers seem to feel the same way.

george i would agree.....i didn't think the r "rotated" as much as everyone said it does

....i have ridden with willard quite a number of times on many tracks....i must say that boy can drive his r.....so when i was driving ED's (thank you thank you thank you ED) i drove it like will drove his ( but not as hard ed ) the car seemed to perform well. at gingerman (phil still sucks) the last turn i tried throttle lift to get the car to turn.....the rear never did seem to come out on me....hmmm....you all need to quit whinning bout the R.....it's the best freaggin car i have ever driven!! driven m3's and 911's soooo....i feel i have knowledge on this situation....only thing the arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr needs is a b20!!!

Let me tell you guys if there was a shoulder availible to blast past th F0o I would have but it had a step shoulder then grass/dirt there. And as for the California driving, Na just Eastcoast from NYC to MIA thats it.
And If i get up early enough I'll be at the Auto X on Sunday! Its the day before my birthday so I got to do something fun right?

Maybe I'll bring my beach umbrela and a cooler full of beers with my camera.

Overall I wished i could have blasted my way thru that situation to make a statement, Ya StUNnA StlYE!

Do you know what a schmuck is?

I just learned.

It's the piece of skin discarded after a cirumsission (sp?).
Think about that everytime you hear that word

My wife got a ticket for doing that, so he doesn't have the right to stop in a merge lane.

I track my ITR frequently. Others talk of how easy the car is to rotate with lift-off oversteer. I guess you all have never driven a Neon ACR.....because I find you have to be very rough to rotate the ITR's ***....
Actually, I have driven an ACR. I used to own one. It's stock balance is definately understeer... A lot more so than the R.
