Well said!

I taught one of my friends to drive a couple months ago in the 240D (auto) She learned everything pretty quickly, except parallel parking

When she finally got that down I took her home and we got her moms honda just so she could see how much of a boat the 240D is and get a feel for parking and driving the honda (she had to take the test in it).

Before she got in I started it and turned the traction control off while she wasn't paying attention . She backed out into the street. And as soon as she went to take off, parents and little sister watching, she did a sweet one legger, slammed the brakes and shut the car off thinking something was wrong with it.

"Whoops I forgot to tell you my car only has 65 horsepower..."

It was priceless. She passed the first time though .
