You know, if I was diagnosed with a terminal disease and had lived out the "enjoyable" time I had left so that nothing but pain and agony lie ahead for me and my family, launching myself off a cliff in my least-favorite car might not be that horrible of an idea. Just sayin'.

I'll have what he's having (hold the gravity)...

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.

As a matter of fact, I might just go hunt down that POS Audi A8L and buy it back just for the occasion.

I agree with your statement - although I'd strike "least" from my version.

Yep. My next door neighbor had one of those. Thing was fast as hell for a diesel. For sure no problem getting up to launch velocity according to the cops.
