WarrenJ Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 When they part this baby out you'll probably wanna pass on the sunroof! There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chazglenn3 Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 That's funny, Warren...I was thinking the same thing. We had a snow storm out here in Seattle earlier this week, and I couldn't wait to take the STS out and "test" the traction control and StabiliTrak, since we rarely have such weather. I found a empty parking lot and was happy to see that all systems functioned as designed. Charles Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonA Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Stabili-Trak can't overcome physics. It appears that DeVille had some serious "help" flipping over (like an impact).

BigCat83 Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 That s**ks. We didn't have any snow here in Tampa this week... Oh...born and raised in Worcester, MA. Finally had all of the New England winters I could tolerate and moved to the Tampa Bay area last year... I feel your pain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonA Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Much of my family lives in Michigan. I tell them the summers in North Carolina are as unbearable (in the opposite extreme) as the winters in Michigan. In NC, fall, winter, and spring are all beautiful. In MI, spring, summer, and fall are beautiful. I guess it just matters what you don't like, more. To me, shoveling and snow blowing and trying to keep the salt off the car pretty much tops the list.

WarrenJ Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Well, I haven't quite reached the "golden years" yet, but a few short years ago I bought this little condominium place. It's really interesting to watch folk other than me arrange the flower beds, pull the crabgrass, fix the roof, stoke the hot water heater, and plow the sidewalks right up to the door of my car. Yeah, that's the ticket! Regards, Warren There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion.

JasonA Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 The mid '90s was when that feature, and underlying equipment, was beginning to be phased in. In 1997, which was the first year for Stabili-Trak, only the ETC, STS, and DeVille Concours were equipped. The SLS, which was not equipped with Stabili-Trak, WAS featured with the CV-RSS, which is required equipment for Stabili-Trak. The base Eldorado, base DeVille, and DeVille d'Elegance featured passive dampers. In 1998, I know all Sevilles had Stabili-Trak, including STS and SLS. I don't know about DeVille or Eldorado.
