Some underground/roumormill speculation the Crown Vic might have been a cop. Sux anyway

alright, now here's a stupid question:

anyone ever noticed that no matter what, when people go off road, they will always hit that one lone utility pole or tree on the side of the road?

what's up with that? seriously ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)


you think that people unconsciously aim for whatever obstacle is the largest in their view?

in racing school, they taught us that your car will always go where you look, even in a spin. because your hands follow where you look which makes the car follow where your hands go ...

Target fixation.

You're on your motorcycle, leaned wa-a-a-y over, .......and there's road kill, or a raised sewer lid, and as you focus to change your line and miss it, what happens? You run right over it as you look at it to avoid it. It's often difficult to change intuitive behavior.....sorta like the urge to lift and hit the brakes when your 914 seemingly enters a corner to fast.

Especially true on a motorcycle; I have done it more than once to include during my recent ADAC course. Wound up climbing a dirt hill with my cruiser, thankfully, I had enough control not to drop the bike!
