Oh man, I feel stupid. Thanks for clearing that up though.

Also, thanks for not calling me stupid.

The dash mounted GPS was a clue, the outside of the car was the dead giveaway

I let my son beat the shit of my Taurus earlier this week right after it snowed in a deserted factory parking lot near where we live.

I let him do front wheel burnouts while trying to steer, some general hoonage and most important of all...reverse 180's :-)

He learned what lift-off oversteer feels like, what extreme understeer feels like,what to do when you overcook a corner and panic braking.

Probably took a few months of life off the car, but what's the worse thing that could happen? It already has 175,000 miles on it and plenty of parking lot dents and dings. It's his regular ride for another month or two until we trade it in when I buy a new car.
