Just got it, went up in the mountains.  Came around a blind corner and found a 
truck partially in my lane and me partially in his.  Swerved and let up on the
gas, and the back end started to slide.  Kept semi-control of the car until the
right rear tire, which was sliding along the shoulder, dropped into a gutter.
The car bounced down onto the right rocker panel, and I continued to slide along, 
knocking over a couple tiny trees.  My front tires were still running straight down 
the road, on the pavement, though, and finally I shot forward and 
got the RR out of the ditch.  Just $1400 in DAMNage.  That sucks.

Does anyone know how Toyota can get 299PS out of a 3SGTE engine?  I checked out
their web pages, and they run a road-rally AWD Celica with the same engine
as an MR2 Turbo, but somehow come up with 100 extra horses.
