Driving a car that is not 'optimum' (like mine's bad shocks/etc) normally demands a slower pace.

The bump steer from the rear can push the back end to the side over 6" (feels like way more, like 2ft) and requires a plan for how the car will react to surface imperfections. Dodging bumps is a full-time job for sharp eyes with fast hands.
Driving my broken car slow is incredibly tiring due to its demands for my attention.
I like it.
I still drive it kind of fast at times, but top speed is 61MPH, or the right rear wheel, without its shock dampening, begins to bounce.
I look forward to its repair...........



In the meantime I've become a granddad.
That's Mia Rose W.

That's awesome! Our first grand child's name is Mia! Congrats! We haven't seen ours since before this lock-down BS started. She's learned to crawl, stand, and is becoming more vocal since last we saw her. Damn depressing missing all of that I have to say.

Thank you.

We've been able to face-time with them all, all locked down at the hospital. They live 11 miles away, so when they're home it will be great.
