IAT sensor madness

Plus, it boils it down to the simplest type of driving--just steer.

Careful with that, I use to love doing that, till one day I was riding with a friend that also drove that way after he got his tire changed and sure enough the idiot at the tire store didn't tighten the drivers side rear wheel down tight enough and we rolled that cutlass a couple times down the embankment (at about 65-70 I'd guess) after the tire fell off.

Luckily, we were both wearing seat belts and the embankment was covered with shrubs to lessen the impact. I got a couple stitches in my forehead and my friend broke his arm and a few more stitches than I did.

Haven't taken a clover leaf like that since. 15 years later and it's a fun story, but I'm still amazed that I didn't wet myself on that one.
