I've always appreciated the levered hand brake between bucket seats over any kind of under-dash emergency brake. The lever between the seats method allows for some nice feathering and quick on/off action. Great for "bat turns" too though I've never needed/used them in an escape or chase. -- KPLUG-LPSG@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
