I guess that's good, the car told me I was skidding and swerving on ice (in case I wasn't already aware).
In any event, playing was fun. Tonight's commute home (only 5 miles) might not be as much fun.
The flickering light its the traction control (it comes on every morning coming out of my driveway! )... If I remember from previous posts the beeping is the VDIM? (stability control?) I don't think it's traction control, because mine never beeps when the traction light comes on.
