oh my. let me count the ways.
i think im just driving along pretty quietly, but i see them go for the
imaginary brake pedal and start making little whimpering noises. could be
at any time, but usually near braking points or during a merge.
ive actually had more complaints when i am driving other cars, not the
cobra. however, ive had a few people actually try to jump out of the cobra
as we approach a corner (i suppose they arent used to the capabilities of an
r-tire). good thing the harness holds them in!
