The first day she drove our '79 240d, my wife called me to complain. "This car is so slow, people are honking at me at lights!"

She's gotten used to it. I actually love it specifically because there's nothing to do in it but cruise. You can't be stressed about getting somewhere quickly when it takes 2 miles to get up to freeway speed...it just takes the burden of feeling rushed in the car away from you. That's not always such a bad thing.
