^ haha. Well, now I know to look for you on the highway... and then RUN THE OTHER WAY!

... nah man but seriously, you have to know what I'm talking about. It's like mario-kart out there, only with Toyotas and Porsches vice Toadies and Peaches.

I'd like to know just HOW the hell do you do something like OP with VDC on and on a highway, which doesn't involve any sharp turning nor, if you're just driving, revving up high enough to power over...
