I work for Mercedes and drive these goddamn over-engineered pieces of **** daily. The SL55 is ******* insane. It will break the wheels loose at any speed below 100 mph. I KNOW.
The new SL series(230) has electronic brakes...thats right, no master cylinder and no booster. You get the brake "feel" from a spring and rubber bump stop on the back of the brake pedal. Crazy ****.
And those wheels aren't on the production cars. Maybe an option but I haven't seen them.

The car is sweet and thats that. If you start to critisize it its probably just jelousy and envy talking.
Its ok I understand I would probably do the same thing if i was driving something like a
88 seven........oh wait never mind that last part.

Yup. Lots of high-tech gadgets to break. Just pray that the warranty covers your *** until you unload the thing. I'm sure its an awesome car--when it's not in the shop.
like the sl we are talking about you probably don't have the car for that long anyways
or you have the money to fix it.

I actually saw someone do something similar to that once. The guy was eating dinner and used a new crisp hundred for a napkin.
What an *** hole i felt like kicking his ***. But he had two big body guard with him.
never did find out who the ****** was.
