realized that abs is so freaking sensitive. barely applied pressure on brake pedal and abs is already kicking in. That's actually very dangerous since i wasn't even going fast and couldn't stop. Thought i was going to hit the person in front of me.

I utterly hate the blind spot. If you adjust your mirrors properly the blind spot 1 lane over isn't so bad. But there is a blind spot if you look two lanes over to the right...a smaller car can easily fit in there...no 3 lane highway sweeps for me...

Me too...I read on that someone swapped out their hatch light. Looked in my hatch...and sure enough there was a light that was always off...
