Wife Loves the SL500
Hi ChrisB:
My wife finally got behind the wheel of our SL500, and she loves it. Although she still likes her Toyota Sequoia SUV, driving the SL reawakened the fun she had street racing in her '69 Camaro. I'd better watch where I leave the keys!

The Female of the Species is Deadlier
My wife is the more aggressive - at least during the first time she drove the SL. She took off like a scalded cat from every stop light, and I think she would have raced a black corvette that pulled up next to us except there was too much traffic. 
Who is the more aggressive driver in your family?

MBWorld Fanatic!
We were a one car family for 8 years. My wife decided she did not really need one. Her driving skills went a bit into decline.
She drives when she has a day off, when we drive to the Jeep dealership for maintenance. Otherwise she preferres that I drive.
I only really get to drive aggressively (to anywhere near the capability of this car) when driving alone or with like minded peers from work :v .
My wife figures there is always a cop ready to issue a ticket for speeding more than 15% over the posted speed limit. Any unwarramted use of acceleration will eather cause an accedent or attract a wreckless driving ticket.
I need automatic ear bags for my car
