Exactly! You start feeling good about your van and then someone has to throw out this techno-mumbo-jumbo 6% this an extra 3mph that... I still passed that '02 red mustang on the left, though... and that vanagon didn't even see me wave (i think due to the doppler effect, or something like that :-) As a side note, i find it amusing that more people are fascinated by an (almost) stock 1.9l going 90mph (-3mph and 6%), than being able to tell me how to get the darn thing to stop... However, i guess what they say is true, "brakes only slow you down", so to speak. Brake booster... anyone? anyone? -Damon Bill Marshall wrote:Who cares! I pegged the speedo! WooHoo!!
