I'm lucky! I must say that I'm very lucky!! You see, I'm still enjoying the power of 500 Horse powers, and it's not costing me a penny! it's like I own the car... for a while!
As I'm still driving my fathers SL, I seem to find features every time! like yesterday when I was standing at this traffic light, the car seems to come with some kind of Magnet, Chick magnet they call it; but that's not the point of todays post.
As I was driving down the highway this morning, I turned on cruise control, you all know that feature, "oh my foot is so tired, please let me relax my foot...*click*", what I didn't know is a nifty little feature Mercedes abbreviates with DTR (no idea what it means) which basically adjusts your speed, to the limit you set, and then records the road in front of you. when it sees another car, a little light comes up, it slows down the car, and adjusts the current speed to the guy in front of you. Indicate, steer, go left, and the DTR turns off and your cruise control kicks back in, accelerating you with a nice push into the backseat.

The Speedometers max Speed says 300, I don't know but I'm pretty sure it can almost do that!
The thing that made me laugh however is, that if you go say, 130, and a truck in front of you does 80, and you pull behind him, the DTR Mechanism, does something pretty cool! It slows the car down in 2 ways, it actually operates the breaks, AND shifts down to break with the engine. but at the same time, it freaks! It kicks in a mad peep, and turns the DTR light (those 2 cars) red... freaking Funny! The monster, of a Mercedes SL55 with 500 Horsepowers... panicked and peed itself in it's pants!
I love Technology!
Until next time, Game on!
