Esp saved me [:0]

Esp saved me from wiping out the truck while making a left turn at an intersection this morning. The road was very slushy. The only thing is, when ESP activates it seems to me to be very ruff or jerky when it is activating the brakes to point the truck in the direction you are steering. All I had to do was to keep on giving the truck light gas, and steer it the direction I wanted to go. I tell you what if It was another 4X4 I would have done a 360 deg spin. I love driving this beast in the snow!! The ML was made for this.
The weather man says we are going to get a sheet of ice on top of the 8" of snow we got last night. [:0]

Ahhhh, I see the blame on safety feature failure(s). This of course happens, but driver error (wrong judgment in an emergency maneuver) can cause stranded passengers and drivers too. I'm not implying you've made a mistake in your recent driving experience with ESP helping you out.

No pun intended in my post, it is a shame that you thought of it that way though.'

Understood. But can you name a car/truck in the price range of an ML that NEVER breaks? [:D]

RE: Esp saved me [:0]

Didn't prevent me from a big sweeping AWD drift to tailslide spin/donut this morning in the uncleared company parking lot.

Wait a second, my ML doesnt have modern day ESP.

OT: S4ML!

Your profile picture is soooo distracting!
Now people passing my office walk in and stare at the screen when I'm browsing the site! Please change it!

You know you do have the option in your profile to not load/view user signatures

There is no nudity, profanity, sexually explicit act or acts in the sig. Your office workers should be minding their own business in the first place by not looking into somebody else's screen.
