Sadly, I remember that episode. I still get a sick feeling in my gut when I see a P car hurt.

I am still amazed about the "Oh Lord - losing a trailing throttle over-steer" predicted nine seconds before it happened. Last I checked you have no more than seven seconds before ends swap.
You guys crack me up

I'm trying to think of the last time "Trailing throttle oversteer" involved the car going off pointed forward.

Still it has to be one of the best TV quotes of all time.

If you look carefully, just before it explodes, you can see that the drivetrain appears to have been removed.



Also, I didn't realize that "trailing-throttle oversteer" referred to covering your face with your hands and driving straight through a guardrail.
