I can't decide whether the driver is understeering into the cones or oversteering out of gate of them. He sure as hell ain't going to weave round them, that's for sure!  ;D

Ah, back when ads were ridiculous nonsense littered with sexist comments and utterly bonkers claims.  Like the Subaru GL Coupe ad.
