speed question...

[quote="ESI-RStarion"she rarely sees over 50 indicated anymore(bout 60mph with speedo correction on the new tires). [/quote]

In "normal" driving...wondering what kind of mpg you are seeing? Guess you already answered that...21 mpg city?

[ESI-RStarion]

yes currently getting 21mpg in normal city driving but I have a tendency to hit the secondaries when accelerating

Whoa! THis is good to know. I've always been very careful to shift outa 4wd when on dry pavement, but today I drove out of my snowy driveway onto dry road, then proceeded to drive an interstate for 35 miles before realizing I was still in 4wd! Seems OK, though, drives very normally, but it cannot be too good for the tranny.

I've been known to go 113mph or so on my 175/70R13's. Chase car verified (thanks Travis with the M3!)


On a 5-10% grade. Yay for *insert blank geographic location*! lol. It was fun. I could've maybe hit redline in 5th, but at the time the sharp-corner bridge was still at the bottom and if I tried to take it at more than 55 I'd definitely have died. Now its a slow swooping corner, but I also have a bit more sense in me now. Not really quite willing to risk that.



Unless I get 5 volunteer drivers and several radios to relay information regarding officer locations.
