Did I mention that the dial only includes even numbers? If you're in a 
30 zone, you're supposed to just *guess* where half way between 20 and 
40 is. Isn't that wonderful?

It's not as if the dial isn't huge enough to fit some more numbers, or 
at least a tick mark or *something* to indicate where 30 is. Sheesh...

On the plus side, the brakes seem to work quite well, and the car 
doesn't feel like it's going to tip over going around corners. (Then 
again, at 20 MPH, it *shouldn't* tip over...)

Go figure.
