Have a very autistic question /o/.
So I have a shopping cart with 2 cases of water, if I move them to the front it's harder to turn, if I move them to the rear it's easier to turn. Middle is, well, between the two.
Does this translate to cars and engine placement? I've only ever driven fr layout cars so I have no experience in say an mr or rr like a Fiero or Porsche.

Yup, you basically got it. That's also why rr cars like the 911 are "twitchy" without modern electronics to keep everything stable and ff cars understeer so much (plow, not talking about power understeer which is a seperate issue).
also applies to towing
Do you steer your car by applying sideways force to the rear bumper? Of course not.
Your question makes no sense.

It makes plenty of sense and it is a good analogy.
the only thing wrong is the steering is done in the front by turning the wheels - in a shopping cart you apply force to the handle (in the back)
Also all four tires can turn independently in any direction.

>move them to the rear it's easier to turn
Yes. It's also easier for something else to turn you.

Yeah but you have to go to great lengths to achieve negative tongue weight on American trailers, they usually already have the axle placed in the rear of the trailer.

Not gonna lie that shopping cart looks pretty cool.
Also only the front wheels turned on the cart I used.

Dat lever arm
I guess we can conclude lambo drivers are as retarded as apple users. Mid engine AWD automatic. Push you foot down and go really fast, awesome dude! there is no need to think about anything.
