looks like the front wheel is about to fall off. If more people could see their cars in a tight turn, they would upgrade the suspensions.

I would like to see the wheel on the other side. I'll bet it's rolling under pretty far.

That's a crazy perspective on the front wheel, almost as if there was caster in the wrong direction.

F=ma
at .54 G's this thing is probably generating nearly the same force as some cars pulling close to 1G.
The slogan for the Wagon should be: F=ma
What it lacks in Acceleration, it makes up for in Mass! A Force to be reckoned with!
Or calculate the Force generated now and then again after lightening and adding a bunch of performance parts, figure up the difference: Call it "Delta Force"

That wagon is the only thing that can beat a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick. Originally Posted by wiedemab

Actually, if Chuck were to roundhouse the wagon, the universe would implode. I'll have to check the math, but I think thats correct. Originally Posted by CarlC
