Nice ride!

PSM, commonly referred to as 'Please Save Me' is a good thing for the average driver to have, though as mentioned, nothing beats a DE or driving course. Educating the Driver is almost always the best control feature you can add, plus it's portable!

One thing not mentioned is Tires. These are what actually grip the road and if yours are worn or even several years old, either replace them, or keep the car way below it's theoretical limits. Tires harden with age and also lose tread seriously compromising their grip. Sure, tires for these cars can be expensive, but compared to bent sheetmetal or people, they're much cheaper.

Cheers!
