Its 99% operator 1% vehicle. thats not really right. yes you do have to drive within the vehicles limits but when the vehicle is a serious liability you cannot blame the operator... if a car has no brakes and bald tyres is it the vehicle thats dangerous or is it just going to be the operator that is the problem?

thats why i dont drive on the freeway. or weave between traffic. or tailgate. its not that fucking difficult. between driving the sierra and a 66 holden ive never come near an accident. because i dont underestimate the damage a car can do, and always drive with a level head. just because people are shit and cant drive, dont take the blame off them.
BTW the sierra pulls up just as well as the HR.

well yes. if the operator thinks its okay to drive in the wet at speed with bald tyres and not expect to slide then that is the operators fault. thats why my tyres arent bald. and bakes have been rebuit.

So you are trying to sell a car that shouldn't be driven on a freeway or in traffic?

everyone just seems to have it stuck in their heads i stick a parachute out the back to slow down. i would advise not to drive it on the freeway daily. moreso because it tracks in the lane a fair bit. honestly the brakes are fine, but no theyre not V8 superar spec.

If its not safe to drive on the freeway, its not safe to drive on the road.

OKAY. so for everyone who has an issue with the brakes. AS FAR AS I KNOW the CJ5 came out with a few different motors, ranging up to a 5.0L V8, which id put my money on to weigh a fair bit more than the ECOTEC. ALSO, the brakes are now boosted, which i assume they werent originally. YES it has larger tyres than a cj5, but i doubt the brakes would be much worse than standard. cosidering the lighter motor AND brake booster AND being recently rebuilt.

EXPLAIN A SCOOTER YOU FUCKWIT. theyre not safe to drive on the freeway. id take the sierra at 100kph anyday over a scooter.
you cant judge its driveability on assumptions.

Who is going to buy a car that can't even track straight on the freeway? How the fuk did a engineer appove a car that can't even drive straight? Whats wrong with a scooter on the freeway to? Aslong as it can do the speed limit what's the issue? A moped on the other hand...

My lwb doesn't track and it has 33" silverstone extremes, but then my steering geometry is within spec.
