ML encounters moose
What a way to be jolted fully awake this morning! Returning from an early morning errand while still dark outside a full-sized moose stepped onto the roadway right in front of my ML320. Fortunately I was only going 25 mph because of freshly fallen snow still on the roadway, but impact still seemed imminent as I slammed on the ABS brakes and held them just hoping that the braking distance would be shorter than the actual distance between me and the moose.
To my relief the ML came to a full stop within five feet of the slowly moving animal which continued to occupy my lane of travel.
Chalk one up to the effective ML's brakes which not only did their job in stopping but also kept me going in a straight line so as not to veer into oncoming traffic.

The ML's brakes are awsome. Last winter, I had to slam on my brakes to avoid an accident going downhill!!!
Underneath the packed snow was ice and I thought for sure that was it, accident. To my amazement, the ML stopped almost instantly without skidding sideways or whatnot. Definately props to MB for their braking engineering

You should be relieved that it has massive tires, but the big rotors = better single stop stopping distances myth is so common that it's believed by most people.

They are "FUTURE" mods.
I'm still sourcing the dice but they seem to have been snapped up by all of the bling bling ******* at the same time that they bought their ridiculous, enormous, shiny wheels and superfluous matching brake rotors.

Back to the topic of discussion, can you have to many fuzzy dice, and does the dice size matter?
Your signature does not specify which vehicle will benefit from the mods, do you plan to mod the red car and the black truck? BTW great pics (elsewhere) of the black truck pulling the red car!
