Hi Folks,

After all of the critcism that I've had for the 88 765T electrical design, I have to tell you that the ABS System on the car saved us from stuffing a Taurus that ran a red in downtown Charlotte at about 50mph+ yesterday. ( It also will keep me from using what could have been a great settlement to buy the 500 class Mercedes that I've been looking at!)

Since there wasn't any room to manuever, I just put down about 400 lbs of peddle pressure and the old girl rolled to a quiet stop with inches to spare. The driver of the other vehicle, (a distracted girl), was apologetic so we left with only seat cover cleanup to consider.

Regards,
