Helpful info when reading car reviews

Post by jimincalif »

A quote I saw on another site:"Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you."
"We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle." - Winston Churchill---------------------------------Who is John Galt?2 Vibes, 03GT & 07 base (kids drive)1993 Lexus LS4001980 Fiat Spider

You know, I have to say that's probably the best explanation I've ever read of the terms. Hard to misunderstand that. I love it!
