How do you stop then?

the brake pedal. the break pedal is rarely used.



ahem.



in my case,

parking brake, ABS since it doesn't work anymore, airbags, spare tire/jack, headlight switch, dome override, 4th speed on the fan since it doesn't work anymore, door speaker doesn't work anymore, fuel gage because it doesn't work worth a shhit anymore...

I never move anything in my car so the seats, wheel and mirrors could all be locked in place as far as I care. The power mirrors don't work anyway. I don't use ECT either (delayed shift points).

Man, a sun/moon roof is like the one thing I wish my car had. Power windows I can do without.

Cruise control.

About my airbags; my yellow airbag light has been flashing for several years now, but I've never had need of an airbag. If the feature that I don't use is broken, does it still count as a feature?

I rarely use cruise control cause i'll have nothing to do and fall asleep.....but if I do happen to use it, i'll be sure to record a video of me falling asleep and crashing so that all of ATOT can find laughter in the tragic event.
