Am I the only one who looks at videos of car reviews where they slide the car around corners and is not impressed with that "showing off" the car's handling capabilities?

That said, I do love Top Gear's antics.

Sliding the car usually slows it down and I'm sure they do it to add a little visual drama to the show.

When I do that with my wife in the car, she has one monster fit. You would think the car was about to go off a cliff, flip over, or just explode.
