careful when changing transportation mode

After only having my 2008 C230 for 14 months I bit the bullet and traded it in.It is a great car but after 12 years driving SUVs (Rav4 - CRV) I just could not get used to driving a car.So since I loved Mercedes and the car was great the cure was get a 2010 GLK.I pick it up Monday.

haha, I thought you were talking about the actualy Transportation Mode. When new MB's come off the transporter, sometimes they're in "transport mode".

Enjoy you 2010!

I have to learn how to communicate better

No that would be transmission mode.What I was talking about was my mode of transportation suv vs car and how after all the years driving suv I was stupid enough to think I could just go back to driving a car.I should of begged borrowed or rented one for awhile before making the jump.I just can't get used to driving a car maybe because or habit or old age or both.
