so i've noticed myself becoming increasingly frustrated driving around lakeland, and i'm beginning to think that my car has something to do with it...

here in cow country, for whatever reason, everyone seems to go 30 no matter what road they're on. on all the main roads, where the speed limit is 40-50, still 30. in all lanes. i've also noticed that with the skittle i've started to drive MUCH more aggressively, which i don't think is good. it's just too easy to get up to irresponsible speeds in that car... which is all the more upsetting when i can't get it above 25 on any road... i'm starting to wonder whether or not it might be better for me to sell the srt4, buy a used scion or something equally boring, and start building a budget v8 or something to get my speed fix with the leftover money... as a fringe benefit i'd save on gas and insurance too... shit, i don't know.

anyone ever feel like this?

edit: also, the 4 threads about skittles breaking just on this page don't exactly inspire me with much confidence about the future... i mean, i baby this car compared to everyone who's posted about breaking things, but still.

Fuck it drive normal around, and take it to the track for your speed thrills. No need to sell the thing because of other people. You bought it for a reason correct? To drive and go fast

People keep doing the same damn thing here in jacksonville, I've been on 55mph backroads, people will do 25-30, drives me nuts. What kills me even more is my engine is starting to fuckup, so now I barely have any passing power to get by them without having a mile of goddamn empty road in the other lane...

Most the people that have been fucking up their cars usually run them hard and race... alot, eh, I'd keep it if it hasn't had any major problems yet, they don't seem to be too problematic if you take decent care of them, just little stuff breaking.

And unless you've voided your warranty there shouldn't be a problem getting your car fixed.
