you could just force anyone under 26 to own a TOYOTA and problem solved.
you would never have to worry about going over 60 |

Yet they trust these 20 somethings with a 40 million dollar F-15 (minus the case of Jack) Court, you must be getting old and your skills are fading....I would rather go around A race track with a skilled 20yr old then a spaz 50yr old any-day. |

SQUID. Usually an inexperienced person going over their head to show off.
These cars should come with a training course, not unlike what killed off the three wheeler revolution of the early 80's. It is no different when a rich •••••• gets on his new chrome couch and lands it in a ditch across the road from his purchasing dealership on day one.
I can tell you that I have had more powerful and quicker vehicles including several race cars, but driving that LT1 Vette was different than all of them. Until I spun it at Sebring I had no idea that it would do what these guys in the video did, when it broke loose. Once the tires light up they are really tricky to get back.
With the traction control turned ON, I would bet we would not be having this laugh at their expense.
With some of my older cars frying the tires was a simple practice. Smoke them and roll out of it, even sideways. That Vette would smoke them and just as soon as it hooked again, even under deceleration, it would grab and alter direction if the slightest sideways travel had started. And then comes the driver input to correct it. These cars have the tightest, no tolerance, quick steering with all of that grip from four of the best tires that can be had for the street. Except for their choices of where they were hotrodding and turning the traction control off, I can kind of empathize with them on their loss of control.
They are not unlike the F-16 fighter jet when they first came out. They were crashing all over the place because the fly by wire input was too fast to control. They had to have the computer measure and control the pilot's input to keep it under control. Just like a video game joy stick controller setup too fast. |

I just see them on the road and it never fails that some guy is on a prius or toyota holding back the entire line, becuase it takes them forever to accelerate.
and the worst is when the idiots don't stay on the right line and stay there until they exit.
why do they bother getting on the passing lane, I will never know!!! |

Toyota and Subaru have paired up to make a cool new coupe with a boxer engine.
I personally have absolutely no use for a car. Haven't owned a car in 30 years.
My "cage" sports a tail-gate.
But back in the day, my 5.7 powered 1974 Vega defined the word "handfull".
