Default Okay, as much as I complain about the ESP it does have it's advantages!

Coming home last night going around a big right hand sweeper, I hit a line of oil that I didn't see and it continued out of the turn and in to the roadway.

I hit the turn doing about 60mph, the left front started slipping out to the left because I was under power, then the ESP came on (doing whatever it is that it does!) and held my line as I decreased the power.

Granted this all happened in a matter of a few seconds and I do not believe that I would have hit the curb without the ESP but it's nice to know it does have it's advantages.
