Replying to: driver100 (Jan 04, 2009 5:36 am) Maybe it's the fact that they limit supply that creates the higher price? Just a thought. |

Replying to: roadburner (Jan 04, 2009 3:14 pm) Apparently the t/s killed the engine when the car started rolling backwards so I had very little control. When I would try to apply the brakes I would start to slew sideways so just had to steer to a stop after about 150 to 200 yards, restart the engine and turn around. No harm done but it could have been a disaster if there had been traffic behind me.

Replying to: houdini1 (Jan 04, 2009 4:16 pm) I'm a bit leary of turning over control of my car to stability control, for the very reasons you wrote about. Seems like there would be a kill switch for the certain instances which you discribed. I'm sure the positive of s/c far outweigh the negatives though..

Replying to: jipster (Jan 04, 2009 5:40 pm) I agree that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. I am mainly telling my tale as a public service in case anyone else finds themselves in this situation.

Replying to: snakeweasel (Jan 04, 2009 2:32 pm) Wow, and what do you call a "long list"? I don't think I have to tell you that when you're at the negotiating table, I wouldn't mention your "short list". I'd be willing to bet the biz guys here would walk you when they heard that.  jmonroe
