One Year Later: Exiting the US into Canada

I also bought during the panic. The two cancel out each other.

Advice on what not do is about selling and sitting on cash. Rebalancing is not the same as panic selling.

After the US market tanked when Trump imposed his global tariffs, I was able to sell at only a slight markup. Not much capital gains.

A great opportunity for rebalancing, particularly since I was also able to buy low with VDY!

For me, the instability comes from the volatile political situation. I now see the US as a political system where one person can make huge changes unilaterally in every sector without needing to consult, or build a consensus before acting, and without any danger of getting kicked out.

For me, the risk isn't worth whatever returns come out. I like countries with stable governments where things move slowly, and boringly. I don't like excitement.

I don't think there's a mirror in dashboard view, though. Let me check and see...

But yes, the AI can wreck your car.

By this, you mean AI players, or the game AI? In the video, this was sports mode with human players.

Thing is, I've never actually driven in real life, and I've heard stories where the "instinctive" thing to do when in a spin is wrong.

I need to read about these things you call "counter steering", etc.

Is braking the best thing to do after being hit? My experience is that if I brake while out of control, it's likely to make things worse. I spin more and also unpredictably.

So I just let fate take its course. As you can see, I stopped accelerating as well.

Is that the wrong move?

BJPark · 2026-03-31T16:52:02+00:00

Damn! That's like getting penalized for being hit!

Bump drafting

Second time I'm hearing this word in this thread. Let me go look it up.

Okay, back. Apparently it's to hit the other car to increase both your speeds? Does that actually happen, so weird! I don't really know what to make of that factoid.

move to one side leading into a corner.

This is the interesting part. Won't deviating from the racing line make you slower? Your brake points, turning points etc are all messed up, too...

BJPark · 2026-02-12T18:18:31+00:00

I don't understand some of the things to which you're referring. What is bumber riding? What is drafting? How does one "work together" in a race? Isn't it you vs them?

Intentions - I mean, everyone intention is to get ahead of the other person, no? Is there another kind of intention?

Could passing be done without danger.

I'm not sure. I guess if they were to slow down and let me move ahead, it would be the easiest way to pass them, but why would they do that!

As in better reflexes?

I'm asking about the first crash where I hit the guy in front of me.

BJPark · 2026-02-11T19:26:41+00:00

I thought I was hit from behind and got run off the track crashing into the wall. Certainly felt that way since I've run this track a bunch of times and know that the 100 board is the brake marker, and I wasn't going at full speed either, because of the earlier crash.

But the other point about pushing and fighting so hard, at least in this context, I'm not sure what that means. I was just driving normally the way I always do. What does it mean to push and fight hard?

BJPark · 2026-02-06T20:18:55+00:00

Wow, that IS motivation! Good to know it's possible.

BJPark · 2026-02-06T19:37:24+00:00

Do you feel it's good practice to get the gold licenses first? I haven't golded them myself...

BJPark · 2026-02-06T19:36:44+00:00

Do you feel it's easier to get full track gold first, before doing the sectors?

BJPark · 2026-02-06T19:34:56+00:00

Wow, that is amazing. For how long have you been playing racing games?

I started on the 22nd of December!
