Yep, Shootie, I have driven BMWs since 1991, and will continue to do so as long as I can. For this very reason. My husband and I were driving on the highway and he hit on of those metal bands that trucks leave behind. Blew out both left side tires. The car did not swerve, was easily managed, and we got to the shoulder without any problem. Oh, yes, my husband was driving. hehe

I skidded into the back of a Mercedes once - I was in college, driving a Rambler with bad tires, it was raining, a traffic light turned red, I stomped on the brakes and hydroplaned (not a good driver back then). Totalled the Rambler, smashed the bumper, the lights, the grill, the radiator, and everything got pushed back into the engine. The trunk of the Mercedes popped open. The driver got out, not a scratch on the car, shut the trunk and opened it a couple of times, told me not to worry about it, and drove off.
