All we need now is Slasher to show us the difference between svelte 32 bit drivers, and voluminous 64 bit'uns.


And of course, there's my @$^@^ Mercedes Benz. Backing out to limp the deflated suspension to the dealers, and a huge red warning filled the screen. Brakes...dong, dong, dong, Do not drive. Dong, dong.

Even recycling the ignition didn't help. I opened the door, and it stopped.


Problem? Dirty brake fluid. Must not have ANY dirt in the prissy little brake control unit. FBW brakes feel nice, but seemingly need a team of engineers on hand. They even need - according to MB - a separate 12v battery that costs more than the gargantuan one in the trunk, simply to back up this electro-hydraulic bit of plumbing. $195 plus tax to have it changed. Not allowed to do something I've done for 50 years, or the warranty will be voided.
