tremors at that speed means one or more of your wheels has a slight bend.

Just hammer it back into shape, Jerry!

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

yeah, use a sledge

The tremors smooth out at 70 m.p.h. Frankly, I couldn't give a shit if this car was bouncing up and down like a vatos stupidos low-rider driving through Monte Chavez blvd busting Big John and The West Coast Killas comp. As long as the engine keeps on tickin, I'll keep on truckin.

 

[lurch70]

yeah, i had it before on 2 different cars ... same thing ... smooth from 0-40 or so ... then barney rubble from 40-50 or 60 ... then smooth again.

bad wheels both times. just a slight bend will do it.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Good to know. Cheers.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

Jerry, maybe if you emptied out the mountain of dirty socks then your car would run smoother

I kid, I kid

 

[lurch70]

speaking of which ... how's the foot odor?

 

[lurch70]

Good to know. Cheers.

just saying ... you know ... could be one of your wheels :zombie:

Dude, I wasn't being sarcastic, I sincerely appreciate the tip.

[Claws of Perdition]

LOL @ Lexus period. I can't stand Lexus.

and buy a superior (on the race-track, anyway) GT3.

You feeling ok Dorian? that is two of the smartest things i have ever heard you say.

I know a couple of guys through car clubs who have or have had Porsche's and they all say it is the only car they have ever owned where you can flog the absolute arse off it day in day out and it won't break.

Shame they are about twice the price over here compared to all the US released models

 

[lurch70]

well, the SMART is officially for sale in the US ... NYC will be flooded with them, pretty sure of that.

here is a cool commercial made especially for the lurch

Still haven't figured out what my next car will be (lease expires mid-April). I'm seriously leaning towards the new Altima coupe. Looks like a G35, minus the price tag.

Altima coupe??? that looks lame.

the new Accord however is sweet in both coupe and sedan ... never thought I'd say that about an Accord

Are you serious? I think it's amazing looking.

Agreed. It's amazing stylish for a Honda. Actually, Paula swapped her Mini for the Civic coupe. I'm very impressed. It's incredibly stylish, and has impressive interior materials for a $16K car. Add in the infamous Honda reliability, it's gas mileage and the fact that it takes regular, and it's quite the deal.

it does look good in the picture on the website you linked to, but the ones in the flesh left me cold. maybe because they do look like a cheaper G35/37.

Hmmm... saw one at the gym the other day in black. Thought it looked quite cool.

How's your ride holding up?
