Wow... I though bounce/springiness was the opposite of stiff?

I find that if a reviewer mentions the poor cargo carrying ability of a
sportscar (as Consumer Reports did of the MR2) or complains about the
stiffness...they have no clue.

But yes, the shift throws are too short! Ahah! The Chicago tribune
should be embarrased.
