So I've been driving my fathers car for a while now, a Mercedes SL55 from 2003 with it's almost 500 HP (476) and its 355 KW equipped with a Supercharged V8 Engine, it's very... very difficult to keep your foot off the floor! Even in idle, you can already feel the shivers going through the cars body, and when you do 180km/h on the highway and pretend you're not fast enough yet only to start accelerating a little more you feel the power going from the engine to the floor only to come back through the tires into your hands... it's a great feeling I believe that makes people want to buy those kind of cars.
Honest though, it's not cool! It's just not practical! Seriously in city traffic where you do 10 to 20 km/h stop and go, you can almost see how the needle slowly sinks into its knees forcing you into the next petrol station to fill it up again!
But until my dad is back in town, I'll be driving this baby ... behaved!
Until next time, Game on!
