 Not excuses, just facts. I wouldn't mind embarassing you at this go cart
place, but if I'm in my car, I prefer to feel confident in the mechanicals,
so that all I have to worry about is driving.

  You've obviously never been to Mt. Palimar on the weekend. Go to any good
curvy mountain road, with lots of twists and turns, preferably not too much
traffic, and you'll see tons of bikes there on the weekends. No matter that
there's cliffs there, it just weeds out the men from the shawns. 

  And most bikes do corner worth a crap, you must be thinking of Harleys.
Sportbikes now have very sticky tires( good street compounds may last only
2000 miles or so), and can outcorner most any car. 

>Quit wussin out and brung your 16V already!

  I'm hoping to get it dropped off this week to VW Specialties to get some
more stuff done to it. If this fixes the vagueness in the steering, then
all I've got to fix is the intermittent power loss(although its almost gone
now), and get new tires.
