Thanks guys! Lot less freaked.

It FELT like 4-5mm. Considering this was the biggest kickback I've ever felt from my car when I wasn't hitting something *blush* it probably was half that. It was one of those "ah, hell" moments, because if I didn't stop, I at least had a clear shot all the way down to the lake. I was pretty sure that if I didn't get hung up, the lake was going to stop me. *laughs*

Still need to get proper tires on it. I've found a lot of places with three (3) snow tires for non-obscene amounts. How do you get three snow tires? Are they ordered in multiples of five? Are there that many people who want a spare winter tire?

And Art, I agree with you about the pumping the breaks thing, at least emotionally. But I also know that a controls with feedback sensors are faster than we are. Tell a computer "do everything you can not to die" and it will do at least a good a job as we will, if not better.
