At least your fiesta gets up that fast. I had an old tempo. when I got up to 50 it rattled so bad. One time, I was very fortunate no one was behind me and it was a country road with very little traffic, because at 55 the rear passenger door fucking fell off. I was so mad I almost left the door there, but I popped it back on the hinge, latched it shut, locked the door, broke the lock knob so no one would ever open it again, and then duct taped the thing on as best I could.
I did not go on a lot of dates when I drove that car.
There’s something reassuring to me about hacks like this (also standard Tempo experience?). Borrowed a friend’s truck last week and he have me a list of things that might seem like problems but not to worry about
This cannot be good for your fuel efficiency.
Neither are other methods of air conditioning/circulation.
man my old Cruze dropped about 1/3 of its power efficiency if you wanted to use AC while trying to get up to speed and merge on the highway
gotta cut the cooling to engage the afterburners
I still do that in my fiesta. Easier than kicking out a passenger

As a geek, I want to refer to this as transferring life support to main engines.
My Dodge Shadow and Neon were the same.
I wasn’t trying to imply they aren’t.
