Back in the bubble for the Winter it goes.
Why no car cover this time?[/b][/quote]
Because I got such a rough time for covering it while parked inside.

But... you all were right, it is pretty dumb to cover it. It looks better too!

Wait til' I show you my Escort GT in its bubble. :scratch:

A couple of comments on the car at high speeds. First, the hood seems to want to come up on the front outside edges. I'm going to look and see if sealing the hood or making up some type of underhood deflector to help keep the hood down.
Sounds like your hood bumpers need to be adjusted. You have a total of 4 hood bumpers. The two middle ones are overslam bumpers and should not be in contact with the hood. The hood is designed with overcrown in it. The center latch should pull the hood down against the two outer bumpers. If your two center bumpers are set too high, they prevent the outer bumpers from preloading the hood. This will cause the outer edges of the hood to flutter at high speeds.

You can check to see if your bumpers are set correctly by doing the following:

1. With your hood fully closed and latched, pull up on the two forward outer edges of the hood. You should feel very little movement and your hood outer edges should be flushed with the fenders.

2. If your outer edges move up and down when you pull on it, it probably means that the two center bumpers are set too high.

3. Turn the clockwise to move them down. Again they should not be in contact with the hood when it is closed.

4. Raise the two outer bumpers if required by turning them counter clockwise. Make sure the hood is still flush with the fenders.

Next time you take the car out try 35psi cold in the tires, I think you will see an improvement in the car.
