That happened to me in a 90hp subaru, 2006. I was quite enthused at 85 with no thumps and madness of feeling like it was falling apart..and simply stayed there for some miles.
Beyond imagination two round dim headlights the height of my rear view was catching up ever so slowly....
I felt the wind plowing off the front end of this old cowled pete, never figured out who it was. an old pete like that in maine is sure to be remembered...as my dad drives rigs, over 30 years now.. maybe it was one of his "friends". never know...
I just posted up about taking clogged cats off of a 500hp version. the turbo is gargantuate. "Dixmont hill only needs to drop one gear." (just got off the phone with dad)...
not exactly seeking 100mph top ends here, the midget best get out of trucking.
