for some idiotic reason, maybe to avoid brake pad wear, i like to avoid using the brakes, in fact let me be honest - i really hate using brakes, it is totally annoying and useless in a utopian world: in utopia, there are no unplanned dangers to suddenyl stop for and everyone drives to arrive, not to brake for idiots , and im in a mercedes which is utopia time!- so ill coast to a stop or slow down a 1/4 mile from a red light and just be crawling when it turns green, a-ha, i did it whithout braking! the 300e is really weird with this, let the foot off the gas and it just slows to a crawl...i cant understand people who drive fast knowing that they are approaching a red light and then really hit the brakes...whats that all about? they get so mad behind me, but im sorry, the light is red and i am in utopia..

or try to judge just how fast i can take a corner without braking; the 300e seems to corner much better than other cars i have driven, the back end does not break out from under you;

aside from this, i am not a speedster
