Are people turning off their traction control systems on wet public roads? Seems rash if they are driving such powerful cars.

Hey, my dad had a 65!!

I remember watching this on 60 Minutes when it was originally broadcast. My friends and I talked about it for weeks afterwards.

Also featuring Valentino Balboni. Although, he’s still alive.

Meanwhile, in Zuffenhausen...

Eh, not necessarily. Ferrari fit and finish is pretty damn good.

Does your friend now suffer from understeerophobia?

But I do! A mid engine though.

You should read more books on existentialism.

True, but most of my track instructors think my fear is irrational, given that the most natural reaction to understeer is the correct one. And to be fair, I’ve never mishandled it on the road or track or skidpad. So who knows, but it’s pretty irrational in my case.

Understeer. I can manage a reasonable amount of oversteer, but for some reason, understeer scares the shit out of me. I have visions of heading into the oncoming traffic on a right turn, and then plunging off the roadway into a tree.

It is the dawning of the age of Jalopnik, the age of Jalopnik...

Nice car. I really like the new Mustangs. I hope you’ve seen the movie A Faster Horse, about how the new Mustang was developed. It’s on Netflix.

I didn’t laugh. I asked him a genuine question, which he answered. I admit I asked in a way that could be seen as snarky.

Fair enough. What did you buy instead?

What will be the consequence of your lack of forgiveness?

Pretty sure that last one is just regular traffic on I-95 between NC and DC. Worst stretch of highway ever.

I have the opposite issue. My wife doesn’t like cars but likes bikes and scooters. We may end up buying her a scooter.

No, but U2 will be sitting in your car whenever you go out to the garage, no matter how many times you tell them to GTFO.

A star for your evocative use of polysyndeton.
