Last November when we drove to Eureka Springs, Arkansas it was cold. During the day it would get nice, but each night was COLD. The Sunday when we drove home it was cold and going to get colder and snow that evening. It was overcast and in the 30s as we drove home down some of the best fun driving roads in the world. The legal speed limit is 55. No way a human could turn the steering wheel fast enough even if the traction was there at 55 in the corners.

Every corner has a "suggested speed" for the average driver. We usually double that, and have fun. One section of road the suggested corner speed was 10 MPH. And the corners are lock to lock, and not often is the steering wheel is straight between corners. At one point the cold temps and my summer performance tires came to a maximum of traction. The car is very neutral and it just sort of jumped sideways about a foot going 25 MPH. Mrs Carrera hit me on the arm and said I should slow down. Just then the speed limit sign appeared and it was 55 still so I pointed out I was 30 MPH under the speed limit in that turn. She did not accept that point of my argument since she was looking into the valley far below on her side of the car.
