Maybe drag racing is easy for you in your 140hp I4... Try pedaling a car down a 1/4 without traction for the first few hundred feet (or in the case below, first 1000+ feet). Pitching the car sideways at freeway speeds isn't always as easy to control as you would like to think.

This didn't happen in a turn...
