Maybe this won't apply to you buuuut...
Speeding in the dry - Mildly silly.
Speeding in the rain (on a bend; in an FTO) - Mentally retarded.
Just sayin'

nope T_T
it's half fixed now though, everything just needs a respray.
I ended up getting a full vs kit added to the fix list instead of getting a standard bar put on.
