Re: Red Lights, was ENRADD

Good point there, Igor. My 87 5kcst (gone as of this afternoon...) smashed two
Hondas into rubble this way. I'll be the first to admit that the second time, the
dive under heavy braking was becoming noticeable due to worn shocks... made for
cartoonish Civic destruction, though. Audi tries to stand on its head-- Civic goes
*under* (Rob feels peculiar lifting sensation right about now...)Audi comes down
as it halts (thank you, G60s) Civic eats pavement vertically while losing
everything forward of the block (yes, exhaust manifold *ripped* off the front of
the motor). Audi sustains bent exhaust and three scratches on bumper (holed last
time a Prelude tried this maneuver)

I got two exhaust systems replaced with stainless and Flowmasters this way. No, I
don't mean that I did this on purpose. Steve B- those headrests work great indeed!

Regards,
Rob
