My car, while going over 200 km/h on the way to work: Motor error: See your local service station for repairs.
What? Is it on fire? Or about to explode? How bad is it? Can I still drive it to work or should I pull over and let them tow it away? Or what? At least it does not have an automatic ejection seat and can't shoot me to the moon without warning.

Could be ok(ish), could be bad - the only way to find out is access the OBD error code and see. (Which is what your garage / recovery service will do. You can buy a cheap OBD adapter on FleaBay and use the free Torque app (Android and iPhony) to read and clear them).
I've had a couple: one was the "air flow mass sensor" which was fine for a couple of years until it failed properly, the car went into "limp home mode", and the ECU had to be ripped apart to fix it, the other was the "cam hall effect sensor" which will stop you in your tracks if you ignore it. The air mass sensor cost £600 and two weeks to fix, the cam sensor £20 and 15 minutes with a small spanner ...
Don't ignore it, check your codes and see what it is.

The car did not go into any emergency modes. Nothing at all happened, except for that error message. Now I have an appointment on monday to find out what's going on.

You take the autobahn on the way to work, or just cut through some quiet neighborhoods? Either way, that doesn't quite sound like "rush hour" (despite the irony of the name).
JSOP likes to talk about his Mustang, but I don't think he's ever lead anyone to think he was driving it irresponsibly.

A9, leading right out of Munich. No speed limit after crawling past Garching, if you see over the professional English obstacles along the way.

I'd say I'm jealous of your commute...but then I work from home.

Same thing when I head in the other direction[^] to have some fun. That picture lies a little. The mountains are 60 miles away and you can only see them on very clear days from here. Only the zoom makes it look like the mountains begin right after the back door. But what are 60 miles good for?
Right.

Sounds like we used to have the same doctor...
I'll drink to that!

Damn it, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a bartender!

The doctor is going to ask you to stop drinking if you ruin his fancy doctor desk with your beer mug stains!

I see you subscribe to the same school of thought as one of my grandfathers before he passed*. As he got on in years his doctor put him on a medication and told him he wasn't allowed to drink while taking it. So he got a second opinion which told him the same thing... so he got a third opinion which was also the same.
Now my grandfather was not one to be discouraged so he got a fourth opinion. This particular doctor said he could have one drink a day but no more.
Shame the doctor didn't specify how big that one drink could be, I've never seen anyone mix a margarita quite that strong before or since. 
* His death was unrelated to the medicine or the drinking.

Well,
It's an anagram clue. The three operators are "under", "regressively" and "stirring" with the definition on the left side. The right side is a supporting definition. I guess if I strictly followed the Ximenean principles the clues would be easier.
Even if someone solves it I'm hoping I don't have to do this next week.

Yeah I'm stuck... just far too much going on. It just leaves an overwhelming number of possible paths, and I don't have time to see where each path leads (if anywhere).

Hmmm,
Can you answer something for me? Do you guys actually do any CCC outside of codeproject? Have a look at some of the CCC from the Guardian archived today - April 5th, 2019.
Behold peril initially in hurdles to negotiate — we’re in trouble! (4,4,2)
With order originally maintained, author losing head as one joining the fray? (6)
Leaving home, freeloading daughter made ungracious remarks, all concluding (6)
Here is one from the Independent:
Say I will have some work to pick up, offering nothing very colourful (6)

Nope, well not me anyway. CP is my only source of practice, that's why I am not very good at them! 
I would assume some of the others do, but I couldn't say for sure.

I regularly do The Telegraph, The Independent and sometimes The FT and always complete them - but your style defeats me I've been doing cryptics for 50 or so years so well done

Yeah,
I guess the "all concluding" operator is one of those 'solve in 5 seconds' type clues. Others are about a minute each if that.
