Bill, not sure if you can answer this or not, but can you tell me what "damage" if any is done to the engine components when the car does a pop-up wheelie as you show in the picture? I gotta think there are some consequences associated with such a move. Snapping lines, popping rivets, something gives. Reason why I ask is when I first drove my car the 78 miles it was a very rough ride. I discovered afterward the tire pressure was way over the limit and thus the hard ride, I am thinking the hard ride may have contributed to the rotor screw coming loose and thus the rotor subsequently fell off causing the car not to start. Just curious. John, AKA, tin-man
