+1 - and it is just as bad with Cabs! I was recently driving the Speedster on a divided highway and was slowing down for a red light in the fast lane. I began to hear a loud grinding noise reflecting off the concrete barrier in the center median and my heart sunk - wheel bearing? sticking brake pad? I actually started to get pissed off as my Speedster is almost perfect... That red light felt like an hour as I thought through the possibilities and began to actually sweat. When it turned green, I hesistated before starting off the line and wouldn't you know it - the noise was coming from a bearing on some POS 1980s Cherokee in the center lane...

Glad to see I can come to my Rennlist support group for this affliction!

I try to play music to complement the buffeting headliner. I find Spanish music most effective
