[DML] Re: DeLorean Handling

["LJScarlet2" <ljscarlet2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Handling?  Who had time to think about the handling?  I was fearing 
for my life--and screaming!  Plus, that burning rubber smell really 
demands your attention.  

In all fairness to Marc, and to his lovely vehicle, it was nothing 
but pure driving skill coupled with a slow-to-fishtail car that 
stopped us from plowing backwards into an SUV.  

In normal driving conditions, I have found the cornering to be quite 
good.  Then again, I drive like a grandma ;)  

And, if my car has to spin, I'd rather the weight be in the back 
because it is easier for you to regain control since it is less 
disorienting than if the front was pushing the spin.
