'92, weren't they still RWD or something, back when Corollas were cool?

To be clear, my '99 is one of those annoying crapolabox ones that blocks up the roads everywhere you go..

Unless I'm driving it lol...

If you have not been on the track, do it - it's a different world.

When I first started racing in ~'95, I already thought of myself as a fairly accomplished driver when it came to car control and picking fast lines. Once I got on the track I learned how wrong I was. You simply can't drive like that on the road unless you are on a closed stage or something. There is always too much to think about, too many compromises to worry about. On the track, you don't have to worry about as much of that and you can concentrate on perfecting the lines and not worrying about getting 'stuck' in a tree (It was this thought that started me out in racing).

Do it :)

You may jest, but I recently took my '99 Corolla (Automatic, on worn out no-name (Wanli) winter tyres) to a track day with Mustangs and was catching up with some of them :)

Sure, those drivers probably don't know how to drive fast (Everyone has to learn, right!) or were too scared to scratch their precious, but come on, seriously? A Corolla faster than a Mustang? That should not be :)

Made me chuckle inside at least :)

Comment It would look like light (Score 4, Insightful) 120

Surely it would just look like light (with a different 'colour'). Things that block it would not appear to give off light, things that allow it to pass would appear to glow, and things that reflect it would just be visible if there is already some ambient wifi 'light' to reflect.

Is this actually how things work at these lower frequencies? Or would it work completely differently in regards to how it refracts/reflects etc?
