In a viggen, CEL cases you.

Causes? Or does a viggen stick him in a case of some kind? I have visions of Saab mobsters sinking someone in a river...

Pfft. It obviously examines you to see if you're worth stealing from.

Not that I've tried it for engine braking, I am finding that rev-matching is fun, even if I still goof it once in awhile. I drove my friend's new Jetta with the 2.5 and he said he hadn't even worked up the nerve to try to RMDS yet so I had fun with it. Then I drove his mom's car, he's carsitting while they're on vacation. Her car was pretty fun too, a new Jetta with a 2.5. :haha:
