Hahaha I like my room tho.
And ya, I tried backing in and the front bumper scraped
fortunately it had that skid thing under it. I'm gonna try head first but at an angle when I get back home

I think it already has the tcu update, when I shift up there is no lag and when down shifting I can do multiple gears fairly quickly. Although this is my first sls ever driven so I dunno but damn I looked retarded....it has so much torque that at a rolling start in traffic the car kept jerking forward....throttle is so touchy

Woohoo!! Congratulations on the purchase! And I feel you with the torque...especially in manual, it's very touchy. You'll have to get used to pulling into most inclines at a huge angle and be very careful over speed bumps. Taking it slow at first to get to know the length and angles is best...I felt too comfortable too quickly and have heard that horrific scraping sound a few times. Considering fabricating some abs scrape pads to put on the front bumper. Love that color!

Dang, that system is more expensive than I thought and complicated...but thanks for the heads up, once I get back from VA I'm gonna have to take a look at it and see if I can't figure this out with the manual you sent me. Good looking out
