Default camaro mishaps

one of my friends dropped me off at the house and when he was leaving my neighborhood he started off in 1st then shifted to 2nd and oh yeah it was WET next thing he said the car spun out into oncoming traffic he was okay and so was the car and everybody else but i was wondering is this a thing you can get used to or is it just something he did wrong this is his first car and his first car that is a manual.

and if he is looking


NICE JOB GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fourthed...

Honestly I'm hoping he managed this in a V6... I'm so tired of seeing the young ones getting in LS1s as their first cars... I wish parents would just acknowledge the consequences and stop doing it...

This is my first V8 but all my other cars have been modified and i had a AWD Turbo before also, so i am somewhat used to it by now. i learned to drive in my old cars and old beaters just screwing around. you can only put into the trees so many times before you realise it's the wrong way to turn the wheel lol. unless you're hulk hogans kid.
Tell you're friend to get some driving prac

Wow! when I got my licence (11 years ago) mustangs, camaros, chevelles, novas, etc..... were the norm for kids my age. Thats what we learned to drive in. Its amazing how much things have changed in only 11 years. Now this ricer **** has got kids thinking that 150 hp w/ a front wheel drive is a hot rod. This story is an example of what happens when you drive a real car....tell your friend to learn how to drive or go back to a rice rocket.

lol that's pretty damn true, i always here these rice gays saying oh when i do all these things i should have close to 200 at the wheels and then i'll be able to hit maybe 14s lol. it's a joke, maybe one day it will change back but i think that era is pretty much done with for regular people having them, not for us though. it lives on

YES...unless he learns to drive it's something he should get used to. I'm about %100 sure it didn't happen quite the way he told it, either that or the car has DRY weather performance tires on it.
