Unstable?
I've been driving on the bay bridge for awhile and now I noticed my car seems to not feel stable, I don't know if it's the wind or just my car allignment is messed up. I go about 60-70. Anyone else feel their car is unstable at high speeds on bridge?

Just effects of swirling wind at high elevations over water, very common on bridges. Driving 80-85 mph in West Texas on I-10, my IS is as stable as a rock.

LOL!!!, I heard those add 500 extra hp and unfortunately I don't need that kind of power and I don't have enough torque to even use it

I've been on the bay bridge many times and haven't had that feeling of being unstable. Maybe it was just particularly windy when this happened to you.
