I mean, here's me trying to agree with you guys... I slid that car SO sideways, so fast when it snowed in NC a few years ago. But I didn't _drive_ it sideways. You just can't get the same feeling of transitioning from terribly sideways to spitting gravel in the same satisfying way. FWD cars might be faster around…
Video of these cars being hooned? This is turning into a lame discussion, but if you think the car in this post can be "hooned," I don't think you quite get the spirit of the word. Read more
Rally racing != hooning. Read more
If you're right, please post a video of someone "hooning" a front-wheel drive car. Hooning is about big powerslides sometimes on pavement, and sometimes on gravel. About nearly losing control, not doing handbrake turns and going quickly around corners. Read more
Can't hoon a fwd car, sorry. Read more
Automatics and paddle shifts are ghetto because it's way easier to have unintended acceleration issues. Also, if you're parallel parking and the spot is too short—and the car behind you is a manual with the parking brake gently set—you can nudge it back a bit. Try that with an automatic. Read more
I wrote a guide on how to parallel park. I think it is excellent :) Read more

I think the lowline BT55 is the prettiest F1 car ever! It may have been slow, but the concept was excellent. If that's a failure...
Yeah but when the plane yaws to the left, the right wing is in clean air and going faster than the left wing, which is in dirty air... What do you think will happen? Next time you're flying, keep the left rudder pedal and hang on. Read more
Look at his hand position at 1:28... Makes me think that he hasn't really taken the time to study fast driving, and the way he threw it into the water makes it clear that he hasn't. Nice car though, and he seems like a nice guy. Read more

Talk about a missed opportunity for a dogleg 1st. It's incredible to think that a long time ago, in a far-away place, manufacturers sold dogleg boxes to normal people in countries where there were tons of roundabouts. How did carnage not ensue? Read more
You can't "hoon" a car unless it is RWD and ghetto in one way or another. Otherwise you're just an Ivy-League educated guy in a Mini doing handbrake turns and reverse flicks. Read more

Dang, 747s are so big they have to design the landing gear to compensate for the curvature of the earth. The mind boggles. Read more
