    Most tail happy car you've driven

    Not sure about the order in terms of how dangerous, but here's my selection, chronologically:

    1. NSU Prinz
    2. Ford Capri
    3. BMW
    Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                    That brings up a good question.
                    When an automatic can do 40-50 in first gear, can it also do that in reverse?

                    If so, has anyone tried it (and walked away intact)?
