    5th Gen Brake Failure - 17 TRDP

    This reminds me of "ice mode" in BMW E36 M3s. In rare, very rare cases, the ABS would think it was on ice, and braking would all but disappear. I had this happen twice on a race track, and gong into a 40 mph corner at 100 mph is far more excitement than I like. It was not repeatable, it...

    Airing down on beach sand

    Been around sand divining for decades and have heard air down! and don't bother. Best solution for sand is a large, wide, soft tire, which supports the air down side. It floats on sand and will barely leave a visible foot print. However, if you are a good driver, you can get away with a lot more...
