@10,000 kms, installed rear anti roll sway bar.

@13,500 kms, gearbox console "R" light not functioning. Gearbox light on "P", "N" and "D" are still OK.

Fun to drive uphill and downhill with its 6-speed gearbox.

Pushed the car up to 208 km/h,...could go beyond that but wife was begging me to slow down! I was afraid myself as I have already totaled 2 cars. Both accidents were not my fault though!
