Perhaps a week dring in a Geo Metro would be good therapy for CL-S (and other) drivers that are complaining about how are cars just aren't fast enough.
Your story reminds me of the latest Road and Track, were the Infiniti is being driven by a race driver and he is furious at only be able to drive at the speed limiter (around 140 something).
Maybe a day in a golf cart, would be a good reality check.
Who was your dealer -- did you have to beat them to death for the new tranny. Or did you just have show up in your Postal Worker's uniform (and clanking postal sack)
