It's the centripidal force that is pushing you into the same direction as the car.

Am I right?


Chuck:

YES!! YES!! YES!! Someone who actually understands why I have been harping and nagging, yes I said harping and nagging, about using correct terminalogy when discussing the rules.

Thank you Chuck. You have made my day.

I have made it a rule not to argue with you, Mark. It's like trying to teach a pig to sing. But I just gotta say, I think you're really being way too serious here. Just way, way, way too serious.
Never wrestle with a pig. It just makes you all sweaty and the pig likes it.
