I'm smart enough to pilot my own vehicle without the aid of a damn computer, and I resent the fact that my car thinks it has better judgement than me. I've gotten along just fine all of these years without a car that thinks.
It's frankly dangerous when I've decided to make a quick move, depend on the power to be there, and then the car decides I really don't need it. It about caused someone to hit me the other day. ESP is *dangerous.*
ABS is a good thing, I suppose; it's hard to argue against that, except that it's just more electronic BS to fail.
Could you please tell me what BAS and ASR mean?
I almost went to a classic auto store and bought a REAL car, with a 454, and a *carburetor,* and *breaker points,* instead of this MB. I do like the car, but I just hate all of this electronic stuff.
Thanks for all of your help, in advance.

Get used to it , or go buy a horse!
or dont be afraid to buy an old car and work on it your self!!
btw- Go a head and get in a wreck with an old car with out all the electronics and saftey features. See how you fair compaired to a newer m.b.
-Dont knock somthing when you simply dont know how to use it properly or even what it does!
- I would have to say though that when I first came on the "Newer" car scene I was very sceptical of all the new fangled stuff.I grew up driving/working on tractors, old chevys ,three wheelers and motorcycles. I simply didnt understand it. Once you study how it works , why it works , what it can do for you, and ultimatly how to utilize it- it really is enjoyable and assuring to operate a car like this.
