    This aged well. That swing arm suspension is about as precise as using a jumbo jet to wipe my rear end.

    Yeah, it's not very controlable.

    It's actually quite controllable, and also seems to have very good launch traction. I honestly think it's one of the few cars that don't gain much from AWD.

    It is, like the AWD LeGran, a fine chassis crying out for more power.

    hopefully the next car in line is the I series, and I'm hoping for a 1.8 i4, 2.4 i6, and 3.0i6, also 4.0 V8.
    We need to have the revs increase! risk of overrev at 7000 is pathetic!!!

    Whenever I use it I end up oversteering or understeering into something. I don't think a swing arm is a good suspension for a "luxury" sports sedan/coupe.

    It seems like a sports car disguised as a luxury car.

    That's even worse. It should have better suspension than a luxury car.

    I think the driving dynamics are just fine, actually. It's pretty fun to whip around Maine's back roads.

    It's fun until you choose it as your career-starting car. Then it turns into a nightmare of insurance fears and driving dread.

    I chose it, then did a few deliveries and bought a Grand Marshal. Then a Moonhawk, and a Barstow, then finally a Bluebuck sedan...

    I was waiting for a LWB H-series to pop up for an affordable price. I ended up selling the ETK for a taxi because every delivery I did barely (if it even did) paid for the insurance deductible for the delivery run.

    When I was using the old 200BX I accidentally kept curbing my front lip

    I remove the hubcaps from my cars, because sometimes a hubcap I'll fall off when I turn, and then I have to repair the car and increase my insurance rate. I wish it would only count "major" damage.

    If it's just a hub cab then do the private repair, it'll only be a couple of beambucks and not affect insurance

    I just remove them. It's easier, and I can sell them and get money (...theoretically. I haven't sold them yet).

    Nah. Maybe some chrome or white wagon-spokes, though...
