Driving my FB Today and....

So, today driving my FB going to a meeting as I am entering a nice drift curve toward the freeway. Wish I love to take and sometime try to drift it with caution though. I saw a Skyline facing toward me with one guy on his cell phone and the other guy checking out the car. It turn out the car was on a dish and saw a bit a skid marks. My guess, the guy was trying to drift on that curve and lost control. I wish I had my camera during that time to take a good picture just to show you guys people. As I open the FB up he was staring at my car. Hehehe

Sorry if you guys didn't understand my post I am Spanish after all. Anyways, this is in Puyallup catching 512 from South Hill Mall area. That curve is nice but is always busy in the day time anyways, The car looks like it got maybe some buttom damage and it looks like nothing serious. Maybe need a tow truck to get it out from that dish. I hope what I am trying to explain dish is spelled like that.

Did you stop and talk to the guy? Or he just looked at you as you went on past?

As part of my job I help review applications, and so I am used to reading engrish, but yeah, I was a little confused. In all fairness though, most of the engrish applicants have overall better spelling than most highschool kids.

I understood the first post. I think its kinda amusing that you thought about drifting it and someone already did, and failed it.

Being spanish doesn't excuse you from spelling things properly, ESPIECALLY if you're on the internet. You have access to an online dictionary afterall. Please, don't use the "i'm spanish" excuse anymore, it makes you sound extremely lazy. You're in America, use your resources and spell english words properly.

Personally i'd like to see a Constitutional ammendment saying that if you can't read, write, and speak the English language in a manner that is understandable to the general public, that you shouldn't be allowed to be a citizen. I'll end my rant about that before I really start to get offensive.

The world is full of stupid *******, it really doesn't surprise me. I just hope that Darwin starts working faster on my generation so the world doesn't have to worry about these people reproducing and diluting the gene pool with their stupidity. Who knows, maybe we'll end up like bulldogs if the stupid people don't get clipped, being so stupid we don't know how to f*ck anymore and everyone has to have kids through artifical insemination.

So, what is your excuse?

Personally i'd like to see a Constitutional ammendment saying that if you can't read, write, and speak the English language in a manner that is understandable to the general public, that you shouldn't be allowed to be a citizen. I'll end my rant about that before I really start to get offensive.
The ability to read, write, and speak English might be a good requirement for citizenship, if not necessarily in a constitutional amendment. But what is the relevance of your point?

One is not required to be a US citizen to drive in the United States, or even to post on the RX-7 Club forum. Many drivers and RX-7 Club members are not native English speakers. The original post was written in better English than many of those written by native English-speaking members. Except for the "dish," it should have been very comprehensible.

Darwin might start with those who can only speak one language.

wow you are one arrogant douche bag!! first of all you cant spell your self and second being from another ethnic back round is a perfectly fine explaination for his mistake. If he would of said he was from italy or any other country that doesnt speak spanish you would have said nothing. I myself am mexican/japanese and can type just fine and i am probaly smarter then you also. So next time you want to bring up racial remarks in a car forum check you own damn spelling and think about it first. damn people like you need to do get some better to do other then be racist *** f****.

back to the issue at hand.....did you stop and talk to the skyline owner or just drive by?

will you try to drift it even though he failed?

will you cry if you fail and end up in the ditch?

lol
