Did you take it to NTB? If not, I just wanted to remind you that you can get unlimited alignments for 5 years for about $250 and it can be transferred to one other vehicle during the term.

Gaps are your friend. However, whenever I create a safe gap between myself and the car in front of me, a car always wants to come over into my lane and fill it -- at least in the NYC/Long Island area. To fix that, I close the gap, but make sure that I can see through the cars in front of me down the road so that I can see any potential danger and react to it in time.

Couldn't afford NTB this time, just needed a quick fix for now. Dealing with all the other mess right now, finances are too tight.

In heavier traffic I will often close the gap quickly when I anticipate that someone else is maneuvering or speeding up to sneak in front. Doing this and then immediately backing off to create a gap again seems to be a pretty effective method of letting people know I'm paying attention to traffic, I'm not holding up traffic, and they don't need to be in front of me. I generally want to go faster than them anyway once traffic clears. There are some people that will cut you off anyway, and after that happens, I like to let other tailgaters in front of me because they're more likely than I am to rear end the idiot.

This time I have a Dodge Avenger… initial feel is better than Maliboooo, at least it doesn't have the 20 -degrees play on the steering on EACH side like the Malipoo… but the susprnsion of this car is just weird~~ feels like its nose rise when braking n dive when accelerating.... something like that…… |
