anyone by chance know what the speed limit on glenmore under macleod is? i think a cop flashed a photo radar at me but i was doing 80 coming off the exit to merge onto glenmore. i always thought that that part was 80 until a little further down?

So did I. It was 50 coming up to that underpass and after for a while, but I think since they finished the work on that section, I had seen an 80 sign before the underpass.

that would be funny if you took another drive over there to check the speed and this time you actually got a ticket. would be kinda ironic

Nope...does not help at all. It is my only car so I have to drive it everywhere. My Matrix when I sold it had 160,000km on it, and I had it for 4 years. So just about the same km's. Once my g/f moves here next year I won't be in Calgary nearly as much as I am now.

Do you guys think it would be a good idea to remove that airbox (the one behind the bumper) now, or wait till it dries up?

Have you noticed any moisture in your actual airbox? Also are you running a cai or just stock?
