CLS 55 AMG - one of the last off the AMG line
Wife's Car Broke down - She has my CLK55
Pray for me, and more importantly - pray for the car !

First comment " The lights are still on when I lock the car, I cant switch them off"

Next comment "its too low - when I accelerate over bumps like the range rover it goes crunch"

Last comment " Racing moms from the school at the lights is fun, how do I switch it to manual? !

I hope the RR gets fixed today. My nerves cant take much more

You've got to get her used to driving the RR's wrench's rental/loaner. There's no following her for the drop off/pickup, and she can drive it like a. . . . ah . . . . . rental.
