Tipper is forever grateful for no longer facing the phantasmaGorea every February 14th ...
Ick-it was mean of you to post that-and didn’t some woman that he allegedly harassed-a masseuse, I think-call him a “crazed sex poodle” awhile back?
Salt gloater.
Thanks. Thats a soft-on for a month.
Sorry — I hope the “anti-Valentine” did not ruin your day in that regard .....
GAG! A+++
OMGosh. My car is stranded in the latest storm out on our hill. I had to walk on up the hill home. I am still shaking. My car would skid a little and the anti-lock brakes kept coming on....never did that to me before. I came to a complete stop on the steepest part of the hill. Nothing to do after that. I am still shaking.
Glad you are ok.
Newer cars have stability or traction control. This is designed to stop the wheels from spinning.
On the snow you sometimes need the wherls to spin so you need to turn this off.
I had to turn the “ESC” off in my wife’s car the other day to get it up the driveway.

I am not sure what year yours is, but there is a “TRAC OFF” button on the 2007 model, located to the right of the steering wheel on the dash.
Interesting. I will have to check the manual and controls. Thanks.
How terrifying!! Thank goodness you are ok!
SD- that site you linked has a hilarious name "just give me the damn manual" lol
Yes, quite an appropriate and memorable name.
Occasionally my husband and I switch vehicles - and it seemed like every time we switched something happened to the interior lights so they didn’t come on when I opened the door! I kept trying every button and couldn’t figure out what my husband was doing! Finally found the manual (how something that big gets lost in a vehicle I will never know) and fixed the lights. He was hitting something with his long legs getting into the vehicle after I had the seat pulled up close! lol
