    My Antilock Brake System dashboard light just turned on two days ago and has been on ever since.


    Apparently, it's a safety feature to remind you that you yanked the 60A fuse to the damned ABS system right after the gentleman in front of you decided to stop halfway into the intersection when the light turned yellow - and you were left to ponder colliding with his brand new Dodge pickup bumper or jerking the wheel, jumping a curb, and bouncing down the grassy hill, while your vehicle loftily comes to a gentle stop.


    I fucking hate ABS.

    Not that I'm bitter or anything.

    I can understand having it in an area that actually has a "Winter" in any sense of the word, but it's absurd for the manufacturers to tack it on to most every vehicle sold in a region where we see icicles seldom enough that most of us need spellcheckers when we type the word (twice a decade, if even that.)

    I will say this - that Rodeo is a fucking tank. As much as I might piss and moan about the smaller details, I still love that thing.
