I posted a topic down below called WONDERING???? Someone made a comment that really upset me. Maybe it's because I'm a girl, who knows :roll:
Anyway....the reason why I am so pissed at Mitsubishi for not putting ABS on the DE's is as simple as this. In January 2001, 6 months after I had purchased my "baby"......it was cold, slick, and the snow that had melted during the day had now frozen into thick, cold, hard ice. I was going down a hill....and I tried to slow down...and what do you know...my brakes locked up. As I started to pick up speed (which wasn't good) I started pumping my brakes...that didn't help....then I couldn't steer..nothing. So them my worst fear....an oncoming van!! I only had a split second.....and WABAMM!!!! I hit the van head on.....with my 2 year old daughter in the back seat.
Now...not having ABS didn't save my life, but it could have changed everything. I might not have hit that lady....and our vehicles would have never been damaged. So take it from someone who knows....ABS is very imporant.....it could save your life and the life of your car.
:roll: :shock:
