It looks a bit worse in person... Or maybe it just looks worse when it
is *your* Jeep... <grin>

Oh well... Probably going to replace it with a VW Jetta TDI (diesel)

Yikes. That's scary. 5mph? I think something went majorly wrong
in the car's design.

Unless something else also happened in that 5mph test that made the
sensor think it was going two to three times as fast...
