It was a Subaru 1982 sedan, standard trans, quite sporty. And even at that speed it was on rails. Could steer that car with my knee.

I've rented a lot of different cars over the years, driven them in lots of different conditions. Came to the conclusion that America builds (mostly) the best trucks. I'll take a Ford Bronco off road any day. You could beat the crap out it and still get back at the end of the day.

If I want a pavement hugging experience, it ain't from here. Want to have fun in the Blue Ridge mountains? Rent a BMW convertible and explore the two lane roads. You'll get your curves in.
