Yep, we moved back here to New Milford. Love the riding up in northwest CT, but not the cost of living, nor the traffic which makdes me uncomfortable (around Danbury at least!), so am moving west to Colorado. I'm not personally aware of any big issues with the Cush Drives, don't recall reading of it here, and this is a pretty good source. I've got an '03 America with 33,000 on her, and I believe my cush drive is fine, and I'm not too gentle with the throttle.
