I offered will help. After being a Mercedes owner for 4 plus years, before that BMW, muscle cars etc. I've found that Mercedes cars need to be driven and the faster the better, it is really too bad this country has such lousy drivers, and we don't have an Autobahn. But in the USA a no speed limit highway would triple the deather toll. In Germany it takes a person a year to get a driver's license and $1000US. So driving is a priviledge their not a "right" like most Americans mistakenly think.

Good luck and let us know if thinks improve?
