Glad you had a non-eventful (car-wise) time! Now we need a bunch of pictures!

We attended a wedding in Danbury, drove through New Haven and camped 1 night at Rocky Neck State Park because my wife wanted to see the ocean. What a dump. We then headed west to Letchworth State Park in Mt Morris. Beautiful there.

Don't know that park, but I know up the line some of the areas are.....rough, to put it nicely.
I would have rather heard you went up to the cape.
better shore/food/experience.
Sounds like you still had a good time.

There are many beautiful places out east, I myself am amazed at how many have gone downhill in such a short time.
Fell free to pm next time.

I had the same warning lites on my 01, turned out to be the EBCM. Took it out and sent it to ABSFIXER. They repaired it and has worked great since. Good price, fast service, would highly recommend them. The EBCM is easy to remove and put back in.

Thanks. I am going to try to pull the codes and see what I can come up with. If I have to send the EBCM in I will wait until winter so I can drive it the rest of the summer/fall.

Yes. Connecticut and New York are gorgeous. We had a chance to put the top down and cruise the winding roads through the forests of Connecticut. It was great. The weather was perfect and it's too bad it had to end.

Washed and detailed her and then took her for a ride to burn out the carbon. She must have liked it because the ABS and traction control warning lights went out. Tried to light them up and the display showed "Traction Control Active". Things are good. Perhaps a bad ground or something.
