Is that colloquial for a speed bump? In any case, it depends on what year/model 9000 you have. I can tell you from 1st hand experience that a 92 9000T is *not* a comfortable car to drive through city streets. It had a very taut suspension and soft low profile wheels/tires. But it was a pisser (that's good) to drive on the backroads. OTOH, my daughters '93 9000CSET is very plush and with the 60 series 15 inch tires really soaks up the bumps when going over anything sleeping in the road. ;-) -Fred W
