I'm not sure of your point here, other than the courts aren't perfect (wow, really, do tell) My point was that I can't get a good visualization of the events from what Sculpin said. I was not inferring anything re: the veracity of his observations. I would ask people to recall the flap about the MP wringing out their new boat last year.

Add CRXs, Corvairs and MR2s to your list. Slow in, fast out is good advice. But the question remains ... for a car as legendary for spins as the 911, is it the car or the driver ? Seems from your experience it must be the driver. How could this be ?
