Unreal. Not if you tell them you were going anywhere near 145. And to add, they won't be able to reproduce the problem at legal speeds anyways.

What if he was in Montana? Open highway? No speed limits?

Not anymore? I thought they abolished that over 5 years ago after too many people abused it?

I think they accepted federal assistance for their roads thus had to abide by federal road regulations.

That's funny, when I hit 145 a rush of gas leaves my body too. I wonder if it is related.

145? That's all? I don't have that problem until I hit 155.

The last time I went 145 I shat myself. That was the only thing leaving ANY body.

My sunroof popped at 147mph and I had to open it and close it again for it to track properly again. I've hit the 140's a couple times since the first pop, and it hasn't done it again.

This kind of reminds me of the good old days when my friend had a Trans Am with T-Tops, I used to always threaten to pull the handle at 100mph plus.

I had the same thing happen at speeds over 120 mph on a Honda Prelude that I use to own. The windows would vibrate and let air rush out. I found that pressing the Recirculation button on the ventilation system caused the car to suck in the windows.....you actually could feel the entire car tighten up. I wonder if the same thing would work on the G?

That's a valid observation and a great point.

If you have your vents on... there's probably soo much air being rammed into the cabin through the vents that it needs to escape somehow.

Now I know why I find the sunroof popped up in the back after the wife drives it!
