2 bunnies ran out in front of me last night on a twisty road. I didn't slow down a bit and crushed
only one.

besides, if i sold them, i'd need to do at least the A8 upgrade, and with the cost of those vs what i could get for the A8/TT kit, it wouldnt be worth it for what i'd be losing. i'll sell em back to you when i ditch the car next year.

in high school I ran over a bunny in my neighborhood the night before Easter Sunday.
I can only imagine the horror on the faces of little kids the next day while they were out doing their egg hunts.

I wonder if he/she knew I had a hamburger yesterday? :-O
Honestly, the idea of dividing that traction between inputs makes complete sense. In practice though...it's amazing how *little* steering angle it takes to f-up your braking. A few simple exercises immediately makes things clear.
1. Brake as hard as you can in a straight line without locking the tires.
2. At the same speed as above, brake as hard as you can without locking the tires, with the steering wheel turned 1/4 turn.
There is probably more than a two-fold difference in pedal pressure between 1 and 2.

I'm 3 for 3 :-/ Don't forget that squirrel on one of the fun runs last year.
I did try to miss the raccoon though at first and then decided just to take him out instead of going further across the yellow line. I really didn't have much choice/time in that situation.
