But I still know what you mean

PS our electronic nannys seem to work with no TPMS installed, at least I've seen a flash of light from time to time this winter with my 5 winter old Nokia's. Yup, I stretched them to the limit!

This thread make me buy Kizashi....he he

If you've bought one, I can only hope you enjoy yours as much as I continue to enjoy mine.

what I'm interested in is the MPH

If you ride with me you'll find I exceed 80 MPH on the dirt road 3.2 miles from my house on my way to work.
I habitually exceed 100 MPH on our Vermont Interstates.
Much of the time I'm in 'relaxed cruise' mode, yet that can turn angry in a single hearbeat; I like going fast.
Not straight-line fast; fast on public roads (sparsely traveled, often seeing no one else) that curve, turn, climb and fall.
Many miles of unpaved roads are found and followed, and carrying real speed on unfamiliar roads is where the Kizashi really shines, unpaved or not. Its AWD drive system allows me deep corner entry (heavy on the brakes), then a mash on the go-pedal to drag the car out of the corner.
Even downhill.

I've been driving 44 years, and I keep getting worse (or better?

).

I'd love to see what type of Gs you're pulling. Sounds like you push it to the limit pretty well.

Just ordered my seventh set of tires.......and I plan on an oil change tomorrow at just over 123K.

I had to turn around twice on Sunday because the 'roads' I was hoping to traverse were SO BAD that I chickened out.
I ain't completely crazy. Not completely.

"SO BAD" = rutted muddy heaved holed lunar-landscape flooded bouldered rocky branch-covered dirt trails.

I mean I think they were roads......

You need one of Suzuki's other fine products for those.
