If you don't think that electronics can help you, it's time to park the vehicle and move back into the cave. Also, if the electronics don't work at some time in the future, then you have a chance to use your Driving Skills! Electronics can't take the place of common sense, but it sure helps get you out of a tight spot - like when someone pulls out right in front of you, and you have to make a very sharp turn to avoid him.

As I said before, electronics are a great help right up to the point they don't work. I work on my own vehicles and bringing them to the shop to have someone read the fault codes is not my idea of a good time. Then again if all you do is cruise the streets I guess a tow truck isn't very far away. You can always use your cell phone, unless of course it won't connect. One final note, you best see your proctologist, sounds like you got a burr up your butt. Oh and Have a nice day!

Re: Re: Greg S
Sorry to others on the list having to read the above but when pushed I tend to shove!

Not sure why Mr. Samuelson feels the need to be so abusive. I certainly didn't "push" him but he obviously felt the need to "shove" me. Maybe it's those long canadian winters.
Maybe it is he who should "get a grip". Not sure what the riding the bus comment is all about. Fact is, we got rammed in the ass by a driver jabbering on a cell phone. She was going about 50mph. My SUV rolled over. If not for seat belts, we probably wouldn't be here today. Had we been in an equally heavy vehicle with a lower center of gravity, we would not have rolled. We chose to prevent re-occurance of the problem by going to just such a vehicle. (We call them station wagons here in the U.S.A.) Apparently Mr. Samuelson has some sort of a problem understanding that concept. If he wants an SUV, he can certainly have one. Canada is a free country. (Well, sort of anyway). I would only advise him to fasten his seat belt.

The originator of this post was asking for advice on buying a particular vehicle, an SUV. While we can all appreciate your accident and your need for the rest of us to feel sorry for you, your comments have nothing much to do with the original post. Yes, people have accidents in SUV's, they also have accidents in every other type of vehicle you can think of. Just because you had a bad experience doesn't mean that we should all jump out of our SUV's and buy a station wagon to be just like you (FYI I just sold my 300TD). So my point was this; if your SUV was so bad that you bought a car, what are you going to do when you get hit in the car? I suggest that maybe you will have to take the bus. Perhaps if you weren't in an SUV the dumbass on the cell phone would have rode over top of you? Perhaps instead of deflecting the force of the impact you would have received the full brunt of it and thus received more substantial injuries? Stationwagon, gee what’s that Abner? How old are you? 12? Of course, if you could make a decent point or carry out a debate with some semblance of intelligence you would not have to resort to such infantile school yard tactics. Grow up! People like you are the reason Americans get such a bad reputation. Not that it is any of your business but I have as many friends and relatives in the good ol'USA as I do north of the 49th (hope you can find that on the map). So maybe you should think twice before you try to belittle someone for where they live or what country they may come from. One of my relatives could be your next door neighbour and yes I have relatives even in Texas. Needless to say I bear no malice to Americans, so why should you be so indignant towards Canadians? As for the long winters, first of all can you even find Canada on a map? Have you ever been here? You probably get colder winters in northern Texas than we do around here. Our municipality doesn't even own a snow plow. We have had snow at Christmas only once in 20 or 30 odd years. Hell, the guy down the street was cutting his grass last weekend and the cherry trees have blossomed. Yeah been a real long winter around here! LMAO! Guess I better go now, I got to go fight off the Eskimos and then feed the dog sled team. After that I got to go rebuild the igloo from the time when the polar bear attacked looking for that fresh seal meat I got from the ice flow the day before. Yeah right! As I said before GET A GRIP! Oh and save the bigotry for someone else.

This thread is about one "shout" away from being entirely deleted. I hope the thread originator got all the info he needed, about ML's anyways, if not about the character of some of the participants of the thread
