Basically, when you're really going 60, your speedo is going to tell you 57. And you odomoter is only going to record 57 miles for every 60 that you really go.

Also you effectivelly raised your car half an inch from the ground, and messed with a few minor handling things. So feel proud in the fact that most likely there is no other 7th Gen taller than yours. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
