Red Line Guilt
I do not driver much, In fact in the 2 months I have had my CLK 55 I have put about 1,000 miles on it. When I do drive it thow I find myself driving pretty hard. I tend to feel guilty after I reach my destination and realize that I just ran the tach up close to red line again threw a few gears. Am I beating on the car or are these built to be driven fairly hard
