Drifting, hellaflush, slammed, tire stretch blog/bash thread.

Nor do you without the math, and thus stating it's unsafe, or stupid would be a statement of your opinion. Thus you have in fact intimated it as such by going on with all this scientific bullshit that's unrelated. All you had to say 25 posts ago was that you're not stating fact, you're stating your opinion.

Cool, an obscure definition. English is sweet how all common words have multiple meanings. I'm looking for proof as in definition 7, not definition 8.

Can you provide it or are you just rambling to make people think you're smart? I wasn't the one that insisted on having it all posted public, I genuinely want see proof (definition 7) stating that it's unsafe. When the argument was deleted I sent a PM (which you posted up here on the new topic so I didn't have to) that said I'm not trying to be an attention whore, I'm trying to get you to prove your point. You replied:

Which leads me to think that it's more important for you to sound like an asshole trying to talk over my head than proving anything. I already said I am not an engineer, nor do I plan to be. That doesn't mean I'm not intelligent and can't debate. Be a condecending asshole if it makes you feel good inflating your ego because you went to college and learned some shit. I can talk over your head on subjects too, but I don't think that makes me smarter, just means I know some shit that you don't. If I spent the time I could do the classes for engineering, seemed boring to me so I went to school to work with computers.

Now for the sake of argument I'll show where you implied (and even stated directly), but flat out stated that it's unsafe to stretch tires...

Those are all verifiable proof (definition 2) that you stated that it's unsafe and will prematurely fail. Now provide proof (definition 7) that the sidewall failure will happen before the tread, or remove the premise that it's unsafe. I am not arguing that it won't weaken the tire, I'm arguing that based on experience I think the tires will last through the tread before the sidewall fails on my stretch.

Being an asshat trying to flex your brain doesn't usually work like this, huh? Most people just roll over and die. I'm not wrong, you're just requiring every possible variable. How very, engineer of you. Can't think for yourself or understand plain fucking english until everything is defined. Now that you have the exact definition of proof I'm looking for I look forward to your next attempt to pick apart my words to some rediculous definition that I clearly don't mean. Being a condecending dick only works on someone who doesn't share high IQs, I choose not to be a part of MENSA, I do qualify. I found a lot of your type of people there and didn't enjoy the company. (Intellectual types that get off on being better than the rest of humanity)

As for your exercise in physics in 2 dimentional form, I see no point in going through this because you're not trying to teach me anything, you're trying to point out how much more intelligent you are. Which is to say how much more you know on the topic. I listed all the factors I could think of that would relate to the topic, 2 or 3 dimensional. If the car is parked or moving would define other metrics. Caster would effect it on 2 dimensions based on the angle the weight is applied. Toe would only effect it while moving. Bumps in the road while moving I would think would be considered a force, but I'm willing to listen to any reasoning you have there. And how is acceleration not a force? Centrifugal force? Torque? These things appear to be forces to me unless we're using an obscure definition of force. I'm using 12a, which one are you using?

Answering beyond what you asked for recieves much criticism as I expected from replying to just what you said. Fuck yourself, you think as an engineer that acceleration isn't force on a tire yet braking is? Awesome, please continue to take me to school. Why don't you draw the diagram and make your point, though I'm not sure what information we're going to gain from calculating the 2 dimentions of a 3 dimentional object. Hopefully we can skip to that too.
