I think for CA crowd... You need to drive as a group, just in case one if you gets impaled by errand drive shaft or your side marker disappears.

Har de har har. :P

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Or pull over on the side of the road and throw a timing chain on re-start.

Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Was laughing to myself about Kalash's montage above, and started thinking about the "Fast and Furious" California gang we have in here. Google search on Fast and Furious turned up this (you just can't make this stuff up):

The drive isn't usually that bad, but the freeway traffic just outside of Vegas can be a little...aggressive...

Hertz has 991 rentals, but they were fully booked for the dates we had RR last year so I had to drive the Mercedes over.
