Okay, hopefully I'll get some time today to tweak the dam.

I am going to trim the edging so it's in the middle of the tire. I also need to take an inch off the bottom since it scrapes going up and down the driveway. I do have speed bumps on my route and don't want this thing ripping off.

Before testing last night, I did have the car warm. I drove it all day and then made sure the engine was up to operating temp before testing. I know the tires will keep heating up as well as the trans fluid, so that might be part of the reason why.

I am going to find a different route to test. There aren't many flat roads, without traffic, with 55 mph speed limits around my house. I may hop on the interstate and do some testing later this week. The interstate going south is traffic free at night and I can do 55 mph (speed limit).

I am not giving up yet!
