I have had AH kick in a few times on the road, not sure if it saved my *** or just kicks in before I would have made corrections my self. One of these days I will get my self to one of these driving schools.

Ed do you know why TC kicked in? Maybe the tire hit some oil or something and the tires slipped. At that speed the tires will not break lose unless there is a good reason for it and if that happens you will be glad TC is on.

Hope to see you all next week at the LI Hooter's Run.

I don't know about everyone else but Ed and I definitely hit 150+ mph and would have kept going if we hadn't stopped for our little 1/4 mile run. BTW, sorry again for freaking you guys out when we came to a stop on the bridge. :rofl
Hopefully, this Sunday will be nice, maybe we can all head out there again.

Damn, looks like you guys are having some fun down there on the Island. I wish it wasn't so far away, those Sunday morning gatherings look fantastic. Maybe I'll be able to convince a few of the locals to make an early morning run down there someday.

i live here and i STILL havent tooken advantage of the runs they do on the sunday morning... i'm guessing staying out late the night before and getting **** drunk has alot to do with that
.. well hopefully this weekend if i'm not too wasted and i'll be able to join Ed and the rest of the crowd... i'll definitly wanna run against Snoopy for the title.. And i'll show Ed how cutting thru traffic is REALLY done they call me the gingerbread man cause they STILL haven't caught me
