Got a problem with the car I can't fix.

I live in Los Angeles and my work schedule keeps me out of rush hour.

Seems no matter what I do every time I get on the freeway the MM goes 80mph.

What makes it worse is when there is a slow person in front of me the car goes up to 90-95mph to go around them.

The MM has clearly taken control of my right foot. I've tried placing gaskets between my foot and the pedal but it did'nt work. Any suggestions or should I just get used to the grin?

It's easy!!! Buy a General Motors vehicle, they're slow.

Better to be possessed than repossessed ... so don't fix it!!

Problem seems natural to me. ;)

I must beg to differ :puke:

Might need to get your lead foot replaced with a lighter, aluminum one. Otherwise, ill take the car off your hands ;)

I thought that was how the car is suppposed to drive, if the needle is not at 80 or higher, I think that I have an engine problem:D The greatest is when the freeway shifts as you come up to a pack of cars, :beatnik: clear sailing
left lane 80 mph rauder zone!!!

I have the same problem with my MM. It must be the nature of the beast.Some things you just have to live with. I like the grinning part too, like a cheshire cat!

Yes, that problem comes up for me every now and then for me too...how strange, except when I turn on the onramp and there's a flashing light that says "Meter On" :(

You must drive at odd hours because it seems like rush hour around here is what, half the day?

I drive all over L.A. County for work. So I usually leave home after morning rush hour and get home either before PM rush hour or after.

'Marauder' is not a peaceful name like 'civic'...

If this is a problem- it seems to be contagious, an epidemic in this forum!

Repossessed....Isn't that when you are possessed a second time?:D
