I can remember learning how to control a Posi-equipped car. Rainy days were great for experimenting with cross-steer and throttle-steer. Slippery streets made it easy on the tires too. Most of us were on tight budgets and couldn't afford to replace tires all the time!

I own one (C7 Z06/Z07), and I can tell you it does not take much talent. These cars are bulletproof compared to classics.

Really, really bad driver or worse, drunk.

Word to the wise...unless the car is on fire, never try to extricate anyone from a wreck. You can cause more harm than good. I have seen the results of that story, with a lawsuit against a drunk driver lost because you can't sue the good samaritan, and there was no way to prove just who caused the crippling injury. Massive bummer for the victim, wheelchair for life, no settlement from the drunk's insurance company. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

Not discounting what you're saying at all bc I'm sure you're right...but that's the point when you know we as a society have reached a point of total stupidity when a jury or judge can't see negligence on the part of the drunk driver who hit that person due to getting that confused with the person trying to help pull them out.

I know, I get it, and see from the legal point of view, but sometimes u have to call a spade a spade and that right there is insane.
