"I Gotta Vent!!!"

[rnysl320]

I own a 1994 SL320 with 100,000+ miles on it. Occasionally my ABS/ASR light come on and I have learned to live with it. However......
Yesterday, I was exiting a parking lot, crossing two lanes of westbound traffic and entering two lanes of eastbound traffic. I saw an opening, hit the gas and darted into the westbound traffic. As I entered the roadway my car went into the LIMP MODE. I was nearly side-punched by a westbound 4X4. I limped across the road into the eastbound lanes. I was given a hardy welcome by the eastbound drivers with a display of fingers (depicting their age and IQs), the sound of horns and screeching tires. I nearly caused a chain reaction acccident. I pulled over to the side of the road shut off and restarted my car. The ABS/ASR and LM (!) at the top of the speedometer went out and I drove home. The pavement was dry, no loose stones and the tires did not break loose or spin. Looks like it's time for another trip to the dealer$$$.

Thanks for listening - I needed to tell someone.
