i just get the impression that you're not the most careful cautious driver, and if thats the case, its having a direct effect on the life of your cars, and possibly more seriously, your own!
speed limit right there is 55 and my speedometer cable is going so it probably reads high, lets put it this way just a little bit in front of me (gap long enough for a car to go through, not him) was a line of cars that I wasn't catching up on, I wasn't speeding. While I will admit in the sti accident speed played a large factor, this car is no fun to speed in (needs alignment and rear bushings which may have contributed to the rear end coming out, all that's going in today and tomorrow though) so I try to stay away from it. As for shiny side up, have you seen any pictures of my car? the top side is not the shiny side, not by a long shot.
