CORRECTION: oversteer

[Carlyle Fitzgerald <clfitz@inetone.net>]

Hello, all...

In my reply regarding oversteer/understeer, I incorrectly stated that
early Porsche 911s went into sudden oversteer after application of the
brakes in a turn.  That was not, as Porsche afficionados will quickly
note, strictly true.  What actually brought about the transition was the
sudden throttle liftoff by panicky drivers; it's known as
"trailing-throttle oversteer".

Sheesh, two dumb mistakes in one week!  I think I need more coffee...

And, a non-audi question:  I've recently switched to Linux and am using
Pine for e-mail.  Does anyone know why my "To" field is showing up in the
subject header?
