3 seconds is a long wait for ABS to kick in! Is that normal on these? The one time I've had to quick stop in this one barely chirped before my ABS kicked in. Not downing your story, but more so thinking you may want to have your ABS inspected

Wonder if you have air in your lines? I'd do a full flush just to be safe and also have it inspected. 3 secs could mean life or death in a bad scenario

Way ahead of you on this one. After reading the comments of people saying it was strange, I contacted my mechanic friend, he said I shouldn't have skidded at all, but the tire marks on the pavement don't lie. Im bringing the car in tomorrow to see if theres an issue. The pedal feel is a bit softer than what Im fairly sure I remember it being. Its entirely possible something is goofy.

That tree doesn't look real!

But your car looks really good.

Great shot Rick1y, not going to ask where the dog is this time (I'm guessing he's in the tree )

Well, I told my friend (who is into video production) I wanted an exhaust video, and this is what I got. He used professional quality video/audio equipment and edited the piece together as well. While he's not much of a car guy, I think he did a pretty good job.

Yes, I know the car is basically stock. I am in school and in the process of saving up for my next big mod as we speak (Hint: some type of coilovers/ spacers). Enjoy.

Bummer. That video has been blocked because of music copyright.

If that's the first time this has happened to you... I can imagine you're pretty p1ssed.

Yeah working on it. I appealed it and I'm gonna try to say its for "educational purposes." In the meantime, I chose a preloaded song from YouTube's list, so it should work soon.

Original song was "Free Smoke" by Drake. Figures he would care that I'm using 40 seconds of his music.

EDIT: now it should work w/ the Youtube Music.

Very cool! A little out of focus, even at hi-res, but still pretty cool stuff.

Nice little drift maneuver you did there.

That's pretty scary, Andy... 3 seconds of full lock-up on your brakes is plenty of time for you to potentially lose control of your car, especially if it happened to you mid turn. I would definitely have your ABS system checked out because something doesn't seem right with that.

Nothing of his, at least from More Life, can be uploaded to YouTube due to his label. I uploaded quite a bit of gameplay the other day with multiple songs that all got copyright strikes due to me playing Spotify in the background. Learned Drake's stuff is blocked worldwide.
