Go to Post I don't really care that the best on Curie may or may not be better than Newton, since we're going to spend the rest of the offseason discussing it no matter how the decision fell. - Jessica Boucher [more]

Re: A Car With A Mind of it's Own

A Renault going 120mph?! Isn't that an oxymoron.

I wonder what prevented him from either shifting into neutral or depressing the clutch? If he did that stepping on the brakes would have been a lot more effective without them competing against the engine. Also with the engine still running, although racing wildly, he would still have power steering and brakes.

Well, at least he was able to stop before the toll booth. He could have given a whole new meaning to the term "Speed Pass"!

Re: A Car With A Mind of it's Own

Same thing I thought about the clutch/neutral...

GM has also had the same 'complaints' but nothing has been proven...

(GM now owns Renault)
