Message	It was raining very hard this morning while I was on my way to work, so I was driving *defensively* ;) While taking a long, smooth banked curve on the highway, my speed sensor must have went out for a second and my steering went completely loose from its usual stiff highway feel. Luckily I had both hands on the wheel at the time and was able to correct my trajectory before plowing in the wall. I use the word "trajectory" 'cause that's exactly how my car felt like, some runaway projectile! It's crazy how a perfectly balanced machine can turn into a runaway death-box in a split second... Lucky for me I got to work only a little shaken up. Please be careful out there guys. George
