Hey - what a way to go tho - I have leukemia, in remission. Thats why I bought my fantasy Vette. I dont have long on earth, so I bought this thing to go cruising this summer.
If I go - I hope it's in my Vette. That way I can take it with me to Heaven. What could be better? Kicking it with St. Peter, and a 22 year old kid, who lost his life driving his dream.
Hope he's cruisin' in the clouds with a big smile on his face. I would be.

ABS lets the pressure off of the caliper when the speed sensor on that wheel senses lock up. unless your foot is pressing the pedal there should be no brake fluid pressure at the calipers.

I've seen a few fatal accidents over the years & it's not a good idea to jump to conclusions as to who was to blame.
