How were you "holding him up", where you hogging up the left(passing) lane? If you see someone coming up behind you just move over, its a 3 lane highway. Infact, you should have been in the slow lane in the first place.

Hello,
Er, I was passing all the slow moving cars that had their emergency flashers on(BTW, that's illegal too)and here the passing lane is the right lane that is ALWAYS choked with traffic, I have made better time running in the left(slow)lane. I was already on the edge of control, the 115 was moving around in a straight line, kinda of like ice skating with a 3300lb toboggan

Manual steering may have given you better control.
Yes, I could tell the steering was VERY light and was just keeping my finger tips on the wheel. The 115 steering feels very stodgy and unresponsive at commuter speeds but it does improve at highway(70mph+)speeds

Seems with new cars, the design is to isolate the operator from the driving experience as much as possible.
Glad you are okay, we need you around here.
Yes, I was wary of the ML in rain as well, cannot feel anything at all.
Thanks for the goodwill.
