Yeah, you don't really put a whole lot of miles on any of your vehicles, that saves on tire wear, though depending how you drive you could burn up the tires in one afternoon
Holy fuck. My average position in Google searches is 15.8.
That's insane - and awesome.
That's all my pages averaged over all the search results where my site would be a suggested link. For quite a few searches, I'm in the #1 position.
I'm pretty damned pleased with that.
You are becoming the linux guru
If I'm driving in a spirited manner, I'd say I get 1/2 the normal life of the tire. If I'm at a track day, that's at least one set of tires - though those are actually usually right around $500 each - or even less if it's a sponsored event. Some events will have a few tire sizes and sell them cheap - at like $250 each.
So, it's a bit of a variable as to how long the tires last. I mean, I can burn 'em off in short order if I want to just sit there smoking the tires. I have cars that'll do that without even doing a brake-stand. They'll sit right there and roast 'em, no braking required.
But, I typically drive in a relatively calm way and not all that spirited. The most efficient line through a corner is generally the line that's on the edge - meaning any sharper or faster then you'd be hearing the tires chirp as you went around the corner. Right at that threshold is generally the most efficient line.
I still think you should have a road race track built on your property, then you could abuse your cars without having to worry about traffic or pedestrians or the fuzz, only animals.
I am indeed being recognized as a Linux guru. LOL Someone's gotta do it. It might as well be me.
And, race tracks take up a ton of space. They're also costly. I bet I could do a go-kart track for not much money. But, yeah, my own track would be fucking awesome. For a 2 lane road, it used to cost about $10k per mile. I'm not sure what it'd cost now - and roads are different than tracks in most cases. There's a lot of pressure on tracks.
