That's awesome. I approve.

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.

Like my memories of me being in the middle of a Lonnie Anderson and Dolly Parton sandwich. So worth it!

The intent was only the former, but I suspect either would make for a great story.

For the memories to be pleasant ones, I rather think both would be required.

Because I'm too lazy to rewrite it all in a normal tone, here's some of the crap I wrote up for Nationwide after Mrs. S's Jeep was hit last Friday. Nobody (except the dog) was in the car...

It's pretty amazing that the ladies in the car we stopped to help didn't spear into the end of the guardrail and instead slid sideways between the back of the guardrail and the rock face. I'm no spiritual guy, but they could have gotten wiped out three different ways on Friday. As I was shouting at them to move further away from the highway shortly after we arrived, a pickup slid into the other side of the guard rail they were standing behind, clipped it HARD, and kept going.

Anyway...that's what you get for being a good Samaritan! :D

Yeah you do. Glad to hear everyone is ok, including the dog. I am always nervous in icy / wet conditions, not because I'm going to slip but someone else will.
