BMW rules ... uhhh, rolls

[Andrew Duane USG/PE <duane@zk3.dec.com>]

I saw an interesting snippet on the news last night. The
details (and my memory) are sketchy, so bear with me.

Apparently, the president of BMW was demonstrating the
safety, handling, and nimbleness of one of their new cars
(a 525i touring wagon?) in front of the press corps at
a local track.

He demonstrated a high-speed avoidance swerve, and after
two oscillations, rolled the car!

After they peeled him out of the wreck, his explanation was
that the track was "too dry" to safely navigate (!?!)

Only my cat shares my opinions, and she's pretty dry herself.
