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

Roof*

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!

True and that's the only thing that'll work, guess there's a hidden button somewhere???? But the B&O system is more than enough
