Hey, some RI'ers are very proud of their slide! Perhaps they don't realize it goes on everywhere b/c they never have to leave their little state...
My only problem with the trucks is passing them. In general they're the best drivers on the road (when they stay awake, as Ken pointed out) but the ones with three trailers are a menace, IMO. Passing those things involves some white knuckles on my part.
Maybe I'm living in a bubble thinking I'm a little safer in my w123 v. a modern Hyundai. I hadn't thought about all the advances in crash tech. But one advantage of steel could be that the car will hold up better in a crash. Someone posted a pic of a newish Toyota that ran into the back of his w123 300TD; the wagon needed some bumper work and the Toyota was totalled.
