Next lesson, timing and how to properly adjust it.
Enter bad braking story..
So every day after work I fly out of the parking garage. How can one resist those lovely hairpins all the way down, sometime I park higher so I can have more fun on the way out. Anyways this z4 is in front of me doing the same. So of course I push a little harder. We both take the "im going between the speed bump and the wall approach with a few inches of clearance" because no one likes speed bumps. He brakes hard, so do I. I however was not stopping nearly as fast as I would of liked. I get withing about 6 inches of his car and my car stops. This would be normal, but I had my foot to the floor and was not entirely sure I would not hit him. The problem..... my front tire was super low.

Moral of the story, always check the tires.
