STI will solve all your car handling problems but experience and ability can not be purchased at this time!

hand brake thing was a joke. BUt it has helped me get outta dangerous situations where theres a car in the left lane and im heading straight into it. i did practise with the handbrake over and over again where, wen i did get into trouble i wasnt goin to hit nething. now its just natural wen i feel my car understeer in the wet.
and dont u get front wheel spin in the wet due to 60% of the power being at the front wheels and only 40% to the rear. or am i way off.
