The handling, especially with my suspension setup, is fantastic. But it does lack some feel which kinda stinks. Especially since my other fun car is an S2000 so it's kind of like going from one extreme of feedback to another when I switch cars.

That her mileage keeps going up. I can't seem to arrest that trend.

Other than that, NOTHING bothers me. She's Awesome. Says so on her nametag.

nope, but the seat is all the way back, and the seat back leans back a tad too, which makes it even further of a reach. Basically it would be fine if they'd put first and third where second and fourth are.

thirded...especially since the 04's have the speakers in the rear deck with the tall grill covers, you cant even reach the base of the window!

Sadly I do, crashed my 97' suburban about two years ago. Luckily for me, the damage wasn't that bad ( grill and radiator ) but seeing it in that shape was no bueno, couldn't eat for two days.

Rock chips in the paint on the hood and bumper. Oh and my brand new 3 week old windshield already has a chip in it, right in front of the steering wheel. Its down in the black coated area but if it starts cracking its going to right in my LOS. Freakin hate the roads in this state! I feel like I'm driving in a mine field most days.

One thing I could do is refrain from following so closely. But our lovely DOT here in Louisiana's solution to a pot hole is a mix of pea gravel and some asphault and then they just slop it in the hole with a shovel, pat it with the shovel, and call it good. Meanwhile cars drive over, gravel is still tacky and gets slung into the following vehicles.

SC is the same way. One of the roads on my way to school was in terrible shape, very bumpy, full of potholes, and I mean not 1' between any of them, and the road was very lumpy. So instead of tearing up the old road, and doing it as it should be, they merely paved over it. So now we dont have the potholes, granted, but the road is lumpier than ever!

I was drivin over the pass in Feb and the state plow was coming at me. He never shut the spreader off!! I got a full spray of cinders right across my new Cruiser!! grrr! It was like two guys took shovel fulls of rock and threw them right across my bumper, grill, hood, and windshield! double grr!!
I've been driving these passes for 30 yrs - 10 commercial - and they always turn the spreader off. At worst they're a little late and you get a few bounce at you, but this douche rock didn't even try to turn it off.
Thankfully I have 3m clear mask, and there was 2" of snow on the hood and roof. So no marks there. But there are definitely 2 'etchings' in the windshield that are going to star then crack.
Called insurance and he said its covered under comp, and for glass they waive the comp deduct.
Still torques me off. Friggin' state slug!

Thankfully it wasn't in Bullitt or I'd have turned around and followed that jack whad!
