Stability control could prevent 10K fatal crashes
Fly: This happened in 1999 and the truck was a 1995 Blazer S10. It was in 100% safe shape, tires, brakes etc. were all fine. The state of Massachusetts gave him a pass safety/inspection sticker and he was coming home from work as an armored truck driver. The ABS came on durring a normal situation at a red light, it was drizzling and slightyl downhill. The truck's ABS came on and then it stopped pulsating but the calipers were stuck in the OFF position. Not wanting to kill the person in front of him who was in a compact car he swerved and and went off the road, through a small stone fence and into a tree. How do you "maintain" ABS?

Best looking 2007 Trucks? YES. Dissapointingly bland: YES.

GMC Sierra SLE
Too bland but overall a B+ by my standards. Fly: what's the matter with the RAM? (outside of some quality issues)

Truth is stranger than fiction.... "What is life but a series of coincedences" I like O.B. corolary to GM vs. Toyota. Toyota SUX!

Stability control could prevent 10K fatal crashes
Prediction: 9,995 lives will be lost when people over-compensate for these systems by driving even worse just because they know they have a larger margin of error. Also, the remaining 5 saved lives will be snuffed by electronic gremlins which will cause the system to fail and make the car loose control. Just like my friend Alex who slammed his Blazer into a tree after his ABS got stuck and he lost ALL braking.

Saturn Aura XR
For $36K I think you should get two of these things. It's true about people destroying these cars at these type of events... the Acura RSX at the autoshow a few years back was stripped of it's shift knob, any & all buttons, non-screwed in trim & even things like the ashtray. People are assholes and the go there just to destroy things. I hate Acura & Lexus too but I think that's not cool... it happens to all the brands.

Spied: 2008 Mini Clubman
I love classic MINIs but even in the older, Rover ones I did not care for the Clubman. They're goofy and just come off as a Woody-wannabe. I did like certain Austin & Rover Mini spinoffs.... Here's a couple neat ones:

I'm in doing a complete 180 with my life...
Well said Griffon. Marcia & I are doing pretty well, things are looking up. I'm hoping to stay friends with Beth but I've promissed to Marcia that I'd take a break from talking to her so that we can concentrate on us.

Thread #29 This car has not made it to production yet but according to several sources it will next year. Here's the projected specs. - 20 inch rims - Rear mounted transmission - 4.7 litre motor - Heavy use of carbon fibre HINT: I've often referred to the concept as one of the most beautiful cars ever. It makes the Cisitalia at the MMA look plain by comparison.
