A&Q about Lotus
Q:
I am sure our former president, Jimmy Carter, will send you a thank you note. As many might recall, he was once attacked by a rabbit.
A:
The first time I went out with my 1st wife, I hit 4 rabbits in one evening... slippery... bad omen?
I ran into a "herd of turtles" one time in Missouri driving my VW. Dozens of terrapins were all crossing the road at the same time... bumpy and slippery

Hit on all four wheels? Was it like a coordinated sucide attack or something?
A:
You need one of those "bunny" stickers on the dash like they had on that test Lotus at Hethel!
A:
I wonder if traction control would have helped.
A:
That bunny on your avatar is sooooooooo cute. I hope the one you ran over wasn't that cute. You sure it wasn't a big old ugly rabbit? I wish you had run over and smooshed a hummer instead.
A:
I can't believe a bunny made you lose complete control! That is scary sh...tuff. At least it wasn't a raccoon like that one guy hit and F'ed up his crash structure and front clam
I'm glad someone else posted that bunny vs. race car movie so I didn't have to do it...
A:
There are quite a few wascally wabbits around here. They sure are cute but they aren't too bright. They will sit on the side of the road and watch you approach. At the very last second, for what ever reason, they decide it is a good time to cross. Sadly, I see a new carcas on the road nearly every day.

Most of that "stuff" beneath the vent is mud from the spin but you'll see traces of red mixed in :-x The left side was completely clean.

Nope. TC only helps prevent power oversteer - it will not brake for you.

Exactly. He didn't brake. One wheel slipped right? =)
