I sure know what you're saying Y2K. I've been thinking about this since it happened, and I think I'm starting to think too much about it after the fact. I keep envisioning the car T boning into another car, and starting all over again rebuilding it! Gotta get this thing fixed and get some stops under my belt again!

No. I'm doing just like you predicted. Stopping way back from every light, car, etc., just as a precaution. I'm sure it will pass in time, but until then I'm being pretty careful.
