Default ABS/Traction Control Update

My XK8 has not thrown a code/warning in months, even in heavy snow and on ice, the traction control/brakes are working perfectly.

On a personal note, I was accepted into MIT's Physics PhD program today--not bad for a teenager. I get to skip senior year.

You go, girl. Congratulations on both accounts. You really should stop by and see us more often as this forum is seriously skewed ... both age- and gender-wise.

A gentle reminder for you, which I know you will accept in the spirit it's intended: "The greatest friend of truth is time, her greatest enemy is prejudice, and her constant companion is humility".

p.s. ... A coincidence: I and several friends also skipped senior year. OK, not really, as the circumstances were completely different. It's not like anybody told us we could do this, it just came about one day at a time, if you know what I mean. We got serious in the end though.

I wondered how you're repair turned out, guess we all assumed it went well, but its nice to have confirmation. I'll think of you when Big Bang Theory airs each week, its my fav comedy at the moment.

Congrats! Sabrina. MIT has a soft spot in my heart as you can tell by the photos of my T-shirt. In all honesty my son graduated from Caltech in 2006. His room mate traveled from Pasedena to Cambridge in 2005 to pull off one of the more famous MIT-Caltech pranks which involved giving these shirts to the entering freshmen class and so the story goes the Caltech students posing as MIT students told the freshmen that in order to get the shirt for free they had to put in on before they left the freebie table. I believe a year latter MIT students traveled to Pasadena and stole Caltech's famouse "Flemming House" canon! Much success in your bright future.

Thank you all. Never applied to Cal Tech, visited there but all the buildings were locked. I think they are focused on us, we are focused on Harvard, Harvard is focused on Yale...
