If you're enjoying some spirited driving and need to brake quickly, make sure your hand isn't near the turn signal. When it inevitably breaks off, it won't be covered under the warranty and will run you about $250 to have it fixed.

Just some friendly advice

As I recall, the turn signal on my '95 cost $42 from the dealer.

Could've been worse... the "Multi-Function Cruise Control/Turn Signal Control" in my '92 Tahoe was $300 Parts PLUS $300 Labor!

All because the fuse would blow if the left-turn signal cancelled by itself when turning...

... still trying to figure out how the heck you broke the turn signal lever while braking...

windshield wipers are my favorite at DE events...everyone falls victim to fumbling the wheel when shooting for a late braking point or tight turns.
