the brakes work

Saturday night, coming home from visiting Mom in the hospital, on an open stretch of divided highway with the cruise set (whoops, still set at Interstate speed), a tractor-sans-trailer pulled-out in front of me into the right lane. That would have been okay, but just as my brain processed "go around him," some dimwit in an Impala followed, taking the left lane. Hmm... I'm all out of lanes and had a mind for the shoulder, but the old gal whoa-ed down straight and true, with just the slightest chirp from the tires. Pretty cool invention, that ABS.

I've logged about a thousand miles in the past week or so, and have to say, my SVX is one fine automobile.
