    New noises don’t bother me. The amount of things that can shake rattle and roll (it’s a mess but it’s all tools and things I need for work) means a new sound pops up every week.

    It’s the new slightly different vibration that sketches me out.

    Ever so slightly up/down vibration that you can barely feel when you get to 70? Congrats, next week when you drive to work you’ll hit a bump at 15 and the whole front bottom falls off. And now you have 3 other problems because drive shafts start flying all over and smashing into things when they break.

    No, I love vehicle ownership and definitely wouldn’t prefer to relax on high speed rail for 20 minutes with a rolling bag/tool box or literally any other form of mass transit…

      I always get sketched about the vibrations from my Kia when driving over 120, but I keep saying to myself it’s just that the car wasn’t designed to go fast 😅

          I should probably specify I’m using km/h to measure speed, I’ve been afraid to do anything past 140 (87mph).

          I don’t think the pigs around here care about speeding though…

            140 (87mph).

            I’m sure there are cars where I wouldn’t feel a thing and all that, but mine would shake itself apart.

            120/75 is my limit, and honestly my truck shouldn’t be going over 90/55 because it loses the tiny bit of efficiency it has.

              Yeah you start hearing the vortex in the tank
