Why do some cars have their engines in the front and some in the back, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the two builds. And why doesn’t every car have full wheel drive?

    Rear engine, front drive: nope.

    I need someone to go down the rabbit hole and tell me what attempts have been made to make this work.

      I’m sure they all ended as fireballs.

      Understeers into corner “Shit!”

      Applies brakes and immediately oversteers “Fuck!”

      Goes off ravine sideways “Oh, hell!”

      Plummets to ground facing the sky “Shiiiiii-”

      Engine block pierces through fuel tank on impact and gets exploded through the cabin
