Conversely, these are the people that have the opportunity to make the largest financial and global impacts in how and when they travel.

The quality of my personal time is more important then the quantity of it. If my air and environment are dirty, my neighbors are at war in Iraq to protect the flow of oil, etc. then the quality of my personal time is greatly diminished.

As for the safety of speed the math speaks for itself. Allow me to use Einstein's formula for Kinetic Energy (KE):


where m = mass of object and v = velocity (speed) of object

When a vehicle collides with something its kinetic energy must be transferred or expended. The less KE there is to dump the better off anyone and anything involved is.

However, my slowing down has much more to do with emissions and fuel economy than safety. The physics of air change above 55 MPH and again above 70 MPH, becoming more resistant the faster you go.

Today I saw both kinds that drive most of us drivers crazy. A couple of old persons driving way less than the speed limit backing up traffic as far as the eye can see. And saw a young person passing almost everyone and running red lights which will eventually cause an accident.

Pardon my ignorance, but where exactly does the scan gauge connect to? Next to the hood release lever?

The only things that will let you adjust the VVT-i timing are the Camcon:

http://www.powerenterpriseusa.net/pr...con/camcon.htm

Or Greddy's new V-Manage:

Honestly, I don't think a timing adjustment will resolve your engine noises, but you can always give it a try...

My SGII constantly slides down the steering column because the glue melts.

I'm making a mount for it from some kydex I have. I'll post pics when it's done.
