please stop with the disingenuine...my stock 85 4 door Corolla drove 17 fine on a regular basis.

On average, how many accidents do you suppose are on 17 in a given year? How well do you think a 1985 corolla would handle an SUV or semi suddenly changing lanes without signaling? Have you ever hit a deer going 60? Have you ever hydroplaned near a cliff during a light rainstorm?
Let's stop pretending that you know what highway 17 is like in 2008. It's one of the most dangerous stretches of highway in the entire state. And my family lives on the other side of it.
My Eclipse is basically designed for two things: improving its efficiency considerably (I've managed to do so to the tune of 50%), and being able to drive on even dangerous roads like 17.
If you'd like to discuss this further, there is a thread for it. I won't continue to threadjack just to satisfy your fixation on this point.
