Odessa, the first exit on the "big" way. The car accelerates like a rocket (full throttle not given). When accelerating the car is heading and is not trying to "scour". Braking is decent but not yet regulated the force on the rear axle. Wanted to turn around and lightly pressed the pedal)))

My internal translator reads this as, "First drive was good. Car accelerates hard at part throttle, goes straight and doesn't dart around. braking is good but the bias needs to be adjusted because the rears lock up too soon."

yay and congrats!

oh yeah, stay safe, Odessa...

Draws a crowd, does it? That is very cool, but I cringe when I see people using the windshield frame as a handhold when they climb in.
