    Seems to me the question was:
    How do I calculate the coordinate for the point at which the car intersects the circle?
    And seeing as he can calculate totalDist, how does he not know what car_.x and car._y are?

    Am I missing something?
    New sig soon

    rachil0: Thanks for all your info. Did some research on "the ambiguous case" and you're certainly right.

    dudeqwerty: Not sure I follow you. totalDist just gives the distance to the point outside the circle, which isn't what I'm chasing.
