100mph and CD player skips
On my way to work this morning, I passed a few cars on the freeway and hit 100mph...te he he :D ...with a CD playing. The moment I hit 100mph, the CD started skipping uncontrollably and didn't stop until I got below 100 again. The CD is brand new, store bought and has no scratches. I've heard of this happening on American cars (Chevy's for the most part). But it never happened on my VW or Toyota's.
Anyone else noticed this?

I think he's hitting a speed/gear combination that is causing some resonance/vibration, which is causing the skipping.. I know at a certain gear and speed, my clutch/stickshift vibrates more than usual..
Your car might not be as smoothly as it should.. I would look into it a little more.. keep an eye out for clutch/trans/stick vibrations at certain RPMs.. that might be the cause.
