ABS failure, bah. I just stomp the brake pedal 16 times per second.

When my van puked its brain on a 1000+ mile family trip, I decided I hate EFI for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, if I want to avoid it that relegates me to older used cars. I don't like computers running stuff, not when so much of what actually happens in the car is as basic as fuel bursting into flame and gears engaging. That's Iron Age technology, and it's good enough for me.

I guess I'm a curmudgeon.

Dang it.
