Unruly is a sublte way of putting it.

Sitting beside Vince (who is really really short by the way, and can only just reach the pedals and still see over the wheel) when he dumps the clutch, then strugles madly with the wheel to keep the car straight as the frounts light up and want to go side ways, and the rears do the same thing but go in the opposite direction can leave you with a small fraction of apprehension.
