Some times I can be heavy footed on the car.On another note, my car engine start to be shaky 1 month after get from car dealer.  Send to mechanic and found problems in the ECU (Engine Control Unit), valves in 2 cylinders doesn't close tightly lead to under compression in cylinder, engine head have hair line cracked & burned gasket.  So in the end got to change ECU, Engine Head, engine oil, auto transmission oil, some bush, hoses....  After change the car performs really smooth again.  I suspect the previous owner of the car overheat the car badly and the her could be using water to cool down the car.  Then sell off the car.Apart from the pain on my first major repair, I feel very happy everytime driving the car.  haha....  Who says money can't buy happiness???From Raydl</blockquote>
