I know what you mean about the brakes. The other day they saved my front end from smashing into a deer that jumped out in front of me. If I was in a regular car i think I would have taken him out, lol.

You have to watch your good brakes,stopping to guickly and someone might rear end you.Keep your eye on the rear view.
