<VV> Cheap, poor handling cars are more exciting?

[Charlie]

Any high-centered truck would do if all you want to do is roll it over.
Having fun doing that is the real challenge!
SUV's feel like driving a forklift, imho.

My friend Paul told me that, the better a car handles, the longer it takes
for driving to get exciting, so drive a cheap, poor handling car for the
most "bang for your buck"! 

I like what Seth quoted:
Understeer is when the driver is scared - Oversteer is when the passenger is
scared!

You don't have to think back very far to get scary memories of Ford
Explorers.  Those should get the unsafe at any speed award.

Well - It wasn't me. My daily driver is a non-autocrossing C6 Vette. So,
many other cars I have driven handle "badly" - compared to that. But not my
Corvair, it handles very well.

I remember this definition about understeer/oversteer:

 Understeer is when the driver is scared - Oversteer is when the passenger
is scared!
