John, as you know, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Perhaps like you, sometimes I get so paranoid about things mechanical going wrong in my car that I manufacture them in my mind. Likewise, it may be possible that after installing a sport suspension I would be over-sensitive to bumps and jiggles that I wouldn't have even thought about beforehand. I'll bet your mother is right - it is a sweet handling, comfortable car (that just happens to be a wolf in sheep's clothing!).
