>my car does that automatically when I step on the break hard!
Now that's a counterintuitive interface... Just borrow it to a lead-foot friend and watch the rear wheels smoke.
>>I was like that before. Eleven years in Virginia have taught me that it's almost never exactly horizontal, and that the car's ball bearings present far less resistance than they did in seventies and eighties. So I'm pulling the hand brake every time I park, and many times when I'm waiting at the light and not quite sure it's completely horizontal. Justin Case is my friend.
