Yup, the dude we put in the White House, and the same dude that has codes for nuclear weapons, ladies and gentlemen. A complete waste of oxygen.

People who drive automatics always make excuses for why they do so.

Even if the nose of the car is pointed more than 90* into the apex, some of these cars have up to a 70* degree steering angle (that’s forklift territory), and the front wheels are still capable of pulling the nose back into the turn.

The force exerted by the friction of the tires on the wet road surface cannot immediately overcome the car’s forward momentum. As the car slows, the grip of the tires is sufficient to change the car’s direction.

This wasn’t the only Soviet self-built/home-built sports car. There were several, going back as far as the 1930s.
