Man, that was nifty, wasn't it? Under the radio. It was called
"ESP"--Electro Sensor Program, or something. The only other message I
remember besides the ones you listed was one for low oil.

My first car was a '77 Celica.

Still the best car I ever had, in lots of ways. I certainly beat the
piss out of it and it never complained. That car wasn't great at
anything, but it didn't suck at anything either.

I have a complete gauge cluster from a donor car we bought to fix mine
after a guy ran a stop sign and hit me. I'm finally going to have a
nice big garage that's mine and only mine next year sometime, and I'm
going to use a battery charger to turn it into a lit wall hanging.
