Basically, they exhibit the essence of stability: the heavy part (the tail) wants to go first.<BR/><BR/>I would imagine accelerating around a corner in a Dymaxion could be disastrous. I'm curious how well this car handled at highway speeds.ZenDrakenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885610651925912000noreply@blogger.com
