... ya. I have to AGREE. Im glad to have an auto finally. The MB dealer told me to beak it in 1k miles before beginning playing with the manual mode, so thats what Im gonna do. I was only on the raod for a week, then had a IT Conference I worked in DC. Just got back. I had a freind with a garage I left it with as I only have a car port. Went to get my SLK straight from the airport :P I was aching to drive her. Man, what a car. I am sooo stoked!
