But as much as Nancy Reagan tugged at Raisa Gorbachev's elbow, trying to steer the diminutive (5 ft. 3 in.) Russian away from the cordoned-off journalists, she was outmaneuvered.

In sharp, slow-speed turns, countersteering can shave a full yard off a standard sedan's turning radius.

The car slides smoothly to the side without sway or fishtail...

I tried to steer the other way and the plane began to do about 123,000 barrel rolls. And then I got shot down, and it felt like an earthquake hit the machine...
