    Default Almost accident this morning

    Two Bozos tapped each other and spun directly in front me on an icy bridge this morning. Thank goodness for antilock brakes and excellent tires. Stopped with no real drama. Traction control enabled me to move off a glare ice bridge and up a hill with minimal effort.

    My E-34 made me feel rather safe today. Think I will keep it a while
    Thanks,

    Makes me wish I had traction control.
    Anti-lock brakes were a great invention tho. =)

    Default My old 528e would crashed.

    it had no antilock brakes and would also spin the rear tires any time the road was even slightly wet. Had to have Bizzacks to commute in the winter. Loved the car, but not a winter car.
