A men! I drive my bugeye and a 70 midget on alternating days. Two
blocks from my house is a short, hard dip that is in the middle of an
intersection, so it cant be taken slowly. When I cross it in the
bugeye its a WHAM and a hard shot to my bad back. In the midget, its
a CLOMP, with no associated pain to my lower back. Hows that for a
scientific comparison? (BTW, shocks on both cars operating properly)
However on a tight, twisting road, the bugeye feels like its on
tracks, while the midget sort of plows thru. Since Im not usualy
driving "aggressively", the midget is the car of choice. Larry.
