Nate,
After some high speed emergency maneuvers of my own, I realized just how amazing these cars handle.
Glad it was just the adrenalin rush for you.

Whew Posted by: vwnate1@yahoo.com vwnate1 Date: Fri Apr 4, 2014 5:37 am ((PDT)) As I mentioned yesterday , Mercedes certainly do handle well at speed . I was ruminating on this as I tore up the twisty Pasadena Freeway in the quiet pre dawn , when I reached Pasadena and transitioned to the 134/210 interchange some boob in a pickup truck pulled in front of me then slammed on his brakes as I was passing him on the right ~ instant four wheel drift @ 80 MPH , I applied *just* enough brakes to avoid rear ending him and counter steered to slip between him and the curb , straightened out and was on my way again , the adrenalin rush isn't done yet and it's been over 30 minutes . Not much fun for me , I don't like / need that sort of excitement at this age . After nearly wrecking me he pulled way over to the left and went off to Sun Valley , maybe he thought he was having fun ? who knows . -Nate
