I am happy to be alive today. My 2000 model S-430 Mercedes suddenly stopped in the middle of an 8 lane expressway. The first car behind, and all others in same lane managed to stop after burning some rubber. The other seven lanes on my right and left continued regular speed in excess of 80 miles an hour. A considerable time later, someone managed to stop the right lane traffic, and with the help of few sarmaritans, they pushed my car to right side of the road. After the shock of the possibilty of getting hit, and waiting over 2 hours for a wrecker service to take me to rbm of atlanta, I felt I was most lucky to be alive today. By the way, you may want to know, this brand new, $ 80.000. 00 car in first year spent over 2 months in the shop for electronic defects of all sorts. To date, there have been at least 20 trips for the same electronic defect. If this is not a lemon, I want someone to tell me what lemon looks like.
