Did you hear something? I heard a loud......sound? Sounds like something is disturbing the air stream.

I think i might have heard that noise once in my car. It may have been the front corner lights. I also had another noise, it turned out to be my rearend bearings going out.

I do believe doing 125 counts as a felony in CA... Drive safe.

In that case the noise is coming from Yack's ride-alongs trying to hang on!

I think you're right, but it doesn't seem to deter people.

I have never had problems at high speeds with My EP3... "It seems like the faster I go the smoother the ride!"

According to the April, 2002 Car and Driver, the top speed is 125 (speed governed), so maybe it has something to do with that? Don't mean to sound like your dad, but I hope you're either driving on a track or a lonely, deserted stretch of highway. Drive safe
