I guess so, while my car was in dead and he was still giving me rides, he was able to do mini-spins on loose dirt, but when you're in the car you can't really tell.
Yeah, he tends to know what he's talking about, but when he told me that, bull**** was the only thing I could picture. Even though I beat him he still gave me crap, because of the smell that comes from my car. It over-fuels horridly when you give it that much juice. I need to fix that =P
