Phil Said> Sounds more interested, but what happened when you came to a 
corner??

Doug Answered> Well, here's what happened at one corner while making a left 
turn in the Fiero onto a busy road from a stop sign - I hit the gas so hard, 
in a rush to get onto the roadway, that the car did a 180 on dry pavement from 
a standstill!!  Fortunately we were not hit by any of the "oncoming" traffic. 

Other than this, I thought it cornered pretty good (it had a rack) as long as 
the gas pedal was treated with respect!
