why?

When a car handles well, why do people say it handles like its on rails?

Trains arent known for handling well are they?



I took the boat for a test drive this avo, and thats what i was thinking after thinking it to myself

It's because a train goes exactly where it's meant to unlike cars that oversteer, understeer and hit tyre walls.
