As a matter of fact, about 20 minutes ago I saw a young guy driving a chevy "somethingsmall", with no belt on, and judging by his Adidas sport getup, he is definetely Russian - only russians wear Adidas in public, outside of a gym... That is "BRATKI" mentality...
he was leaning so close to the steering wheel, that i was wondering if he will have a chance to grab a pillow on his way out through the windshield... lol...

oh yea! I got my addidas as well!
funny how much russian is included in this thread, dash cam (iphone in one hand) (electronic music) (reckless driving) = russian!

I have not tested the pillow theory nor will i in the future.
driving is serious. I learned my lesson back when i just got my license and my first car was a twin turbo 2.8 fwd volvo. to much power to handle. always buckled up. the X is slower and I have more brain now.
I really do put the seat belt on 90% of the time, A bit of trolling in the beggining because i spend to much time on bimmerforums.. -theyre all kids.

I find the DSC function scary to keep off.
I recently started driving more aggressive on the pedal. -saves mpg.
but if you forget about ice, the back will spin. I was turining onto the road and my back started spining unexpectidly and I just had enough time to react and straighten the vehicle before an impact with a light pole. and than my friend looks at me and goes wow nice drift! i tell him never ever ever drive like that, it was unexpected. stay safe people. I had enough fun. time to get serious. Happy New Years everyone! Greetings from western Mass.
