Once you leave the pavement, pretty much all of your on-road driving techniques become null and void.

Yeah I noticed that the first time I drove my SUV across my yard to the door of my (walk-out) basement. I had to step on the brake to go faster, play a ZZ Top CD to down-shift and turn the steering wheel to the left to stop the car. Weird. The part where the car levitated when I turned on the headlights was pretty cool.

Yeah, I thought the first sentence was a bit of absurd hyperbole as well.

I've often wondered what motivates people to write stupid things all in the name of attention grabbing introductory sentences when all it really does, is to cement in my mind that the writer is an idiot. Unfortunately, a poorly written introduction taints what might have otherwise been a good piece of writing.
