Yes, I do!... About every third or fourth morning I get to test the system as I try to make a stale green onto the local expressway to work; it's an odd feeling, initiating a turn with a pulsating brake pedal while going over ripples in the pavement.

My fav is setting up a tailgater for a cloverleaf; moderate speed going in, NO braking going into the turn, gas through the turn, and if he/she/it is still in the mirrors then I know he wasn't a Fred and I let him by

Geez, maybe it's time to hit Hwy 49 after Picnic Day this weekend...
