- Dismembering the thief would be good, but not at the risk of the public.

Since there's a re-settable fuel cutoff mercury switch above yer right hoof, quite easily.

I tripped mine spinning off a track.

So it's worth knowing about!

Fortunately, I did.

It uses electronics to vary the amount of movement of the wheels relative to the steering input depending on speed.

@ slow speed small movements = lots of lock
@ high speed small movements = no lock
