What you you all think of a vintage 911? A friend of mine wants to go halfsies
on one. He seems to like the 911SC as the engine is supposedly bulletproof. I
think the earlier 911T, E or S are better looking but they are prohibitively
expensive.

My 2014 GLK 250 occasionally buzzes me that the emergency brake is engaged,

And that is my biggest issue with binary drivers©️ When something in the brake
system fails, the car in front of them is what stops them.
(A binary driver is one who must accelerate until it's time to stop. When it's
time to stop, they brake at the limits of tire adhesion)

Good point. It's a DIY but if you have to pay someone it would be 3X
that at least (and could be a bit more depending on how you acquire a
CP). New CP is $850, then swap, then programming ($400 or more), then
fluid/filter for $150 or so for materials, add labor to all that and
you're looking
Black Death.

It sounds like the real issue was probably the poor condition of the
spare tire that blew out before the collision. They were likely just
driving too fast on a junk tire so it may not have mattered who was
