In reply to the comment that driving a mercedes has changed your driving style,,I fully agree. I try to smooth and all but not only that I try to be courteous to others(letting others go first at stops and all). But for the winter one year I had a Honda Accord 5-speed. It was like Jekyll and Hyde, well not that extreme but it was a marked difference. I drove faster, braked later, passed people when I normally wouldn't. I was really surprised, but I guess it is true that the kind of car does have an influence on your driving. Now I have an Audi 90CS for a winter car,,,,you can guess whats going to happen in a snow covered parking lot in the early morning hours
