The term "Slalom" is often used in the context of winter sports like skiing and snowboarding. It refers to a competitive discipline where participants navigate a course with gates, weaving alternately around them. However, the term can also be used in other contexts to describe skillful and agile maneuvering around obstacles.

[@TheBcoolGuy]

I thought that part was very funny. Levy is of Russian Jewish heritage, and he lives in New York, so I imagine he thought it was something to do with 'shalom'.

Levy not knowing what a Slalom is was a surprise. It is also used to test the handling of cars, where a bunch of cones are put in a row and the car has to drive around them, swapping sides with each cone. This is actually a thing done in car safety, known as the Elk Test (basically avoiding a obstacle and regaining control). In 1997 a Mercedes A-Class, today known as the Elk / Elch in Germany, failed that test so badly it reached a 45 degree angle and almost toppled over. Then some Swedes came along, and actually flipped it during their test, resulting in the development of ESP, the Electronic Stability Program. Your car has it as well, if it was built after 1999 and is a road car.
