Similar experiences here, heh heh. Most importantly the chicks loved it and at least it all looked and sounded mean with the cherry bombs and dog-dish hubcaps and went like stink in a straight line. In the turns it wasn't so good. Lack of
rack and pinion, 6" of steering wheel slop at highway speeds and quickly fading four wheel drums (like buttering hot toast on the off ramps) and you have some scary rides. But boy was it ever fun though.
