Wouldn't it be great if your car exploded at 90mph? I bet it would not hurt you to slow down some, 90mph is pretty fast and the likelyhood of problems gets higher tha faster you go.

i used to live thirty minutes from where you live and i know for a fact that if you don't go fast on the interstate you kinda get in the way. same scenario here. so if ninety is what it takes ninety is what i'll drive.

That buzzing is to let you know that you are about to shatter the sound barrier aka a wall. Jp. But really slow down a little.

It's the noise telling you that your car isn't safe at that speed. Does it make it at the speed limit?

i don't usually drive that fast....with that said no it does not make the noise until 90+. we drive mostly around town and on the bypass. most streets are zoned for 55 but everyone goes 70. but this 90+ stint was a rare occasion. the reason i am worried about it is that it could be something serious thats gone undetected. i don't want to be left on the side of the road. thats all.

You're full of ****. I used to live around there, and you must be dilussional to think that 90 is normal.

Make sure you marked that you're an organ donor on your license.

i just moved from nc, and have took the bypass through atlanta and been all through sc.....
First of all if you go 90 on south carolinas craptastic roads your car is going to have problems from getting the crap jared out of it, and no one goes 90 just to get around, run a guage test, see if there are any codes not throwing the c/e light, jack up your car and check all of your bolts and bushings, and slow down
