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.

If the road is so bad tell us the actual stats rather than blathering about. Also, I used to drive through the most dangerous intersection in the country - Flamingo and Pines in Pembroke Pines , FL - so I've seen danger in a small vehicle and lived to tell about it.
If this highway is so dangerous than how is it an Eclipse will fair well? I mean, it is a small car although I sure don't think it's some fancy sports car with better than average suspension. Of course, I'm sure you've modified the thing into something incredible.
I think this thread is kind of fun and has regular activity but I can see you'd rather back off and try to force people someplace else. Cynth is right: you do want to control people and you are right/they are wrong!
