Do you drive a car with Electronic Stability Protection (ESP)? Most new European cars have it. So do remember not to rent a car if you visit Europe.
No, I drive a real vehicle; a 2000 GMC stretched YUKON. It doesn't need any of that cr*p. I live in the U.S., so it's very doubtful I'd ever buy any foreign automobile. And don't look for me to visit anytime soon as I'm too busy here.
