Default Almost "puked" in my car

I am just getting over a stomach flu and haven't driven in 4 days. My first day back to driving, my ride was so bumpy my stomach started churning and I almost puked. It's the same road I've been travelling for years, but this time I felt every bump in the road.

Now I can understand why some of my back seat riders get car sick. I didn't realize it was that bumpy until now. Anybody else have a similar experience with the sport suspension?

Car is an 07 IS350 X-pkg w/ sport susp.

Once a car has been vomited in, it's never the same... Even if you use Febreze...

This reminds me of a post I read years ago on the Acura forum, right after I bought my CL Type S...

Here's the post:

http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...ighlight=puked

It was about 3 am. We were cruisin on interstate 5 south comin from hip hop club named Vertigo in downtown LA. suddenly my 250 pound homie made a loud burp roar sound and ralphed in the passenger side backseat! It was all up on my other friends neck, passenger seat, seat back pocket and floormat. ********Damn!!! too many beers and strong island iced teas i guess. I was honestly kinda tossed so i didnt really care at that time. I went out there to clean that **** up this morning. it was some nasty ****. it reminded me what we had eaten for dinner last night. uuuuggghhh!!! so i wiped, scraped, and scrubbed it all down and used Febreze all on the floormats and carpet. its all good now. WHEW!!!! no more alcohol for my friend though. hehe.

I don't ever get sick to the stomach...you guys are weak. I'll get sick, then pound a bottle of jaegermeister to the dome, then I'll eat 2 pounds of indian curry..and I'll still be able to ride a rollercoaster..standing up.
