Unusual cars are always good to look at :)
What's the car in your last picture?
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

It's a Peugeot 202, well patinated and still earning its keep with a French wine merchant. Also something in the first photo for Rancho fans.
