: Had the car or a week. Tonight I was stopped at a light, about to make a right turn. I started moving, and as I shifted into second, I gave it some gas and the rear end came all the way around. I did a 360 and kept going on my way like nothing happened. :)

: Every time before this, when I went around a turn and gave it gas in second, the rear end would start kicking out a little. Tonight I gave it less gas, and it went waaaay out.

: Just when I thought I was beginning to get to know the car, it threw this at me.

: P.S.> Hit 130 on the way home tonight, in no time. You don't have to try hard with this car. It was dying to go faster too.

That must have been a very spirited acceleration coupled with the right turn. I've done some aggressive driving but I've NEVER had the car unexpectedly do a 360 in daily driving. Then 130mph in the same day? Glad I'm not your buddy... 'cause I'm not being a pallbearer again ANYTIME SOON!

Call me overly cautious,
