Wheeeeeee!



I did a bad thing yesterday.

I spent a long time in the DMC in rush-hour traffic sitting behind someone trying to
make a left turn, directly under the "No Left Turns" sign. I let my foul mood impair my
judgement and chose to enter fast-moving traffic into a very small gap.

"Hey, Steven Wynn got me 200HP, I can fit in there" I told myself. I floored the gas
and sidestepped the clutch, turning right. As I did this, the back tires spun and
I found myself going down the road somewhat sideways, and not accelerating as well I
should have been.

"Gee," I said to no one in particular, "it's never done THAT before." I was somewhat
pleased until I considered the traffic coming up beind me and the ditch looming in front
of me.

So I countersteered slightly, did a brief throttle lift then right back on the gas hard,
and WHOOSH, it straightened right out and shot off like a rocket! Not bad for a car two
decades old, eh?

Of course, all this took place in the span of 2 seconds.

I love this car.
