The slow down mod!

I just installed the car seat in the beast! I'll be going so slow for a while, lucky me that our wagon is going to do most of the family duties with my wife behind the wheel!

Love those lil punkins. Mine are older now and BEG me to go 0-60 in 3.X secs. That's were it gets really fun!

Some punk weaving in and out of traffic in a Saab the other day...I just let it go. I hear from the back, "Get um dad!!! Don't let him get away with that." As we went by him, they asked me to at least "goose it" to let him hear it to which I got cheers from the back.

I don't hammer with the kids in, but it sure makes ya smile!

It's amazing how priorities change in a blink of an eye. That being said, she'll get her own Mercedes, I don't let anyone drive mine! I'm sure she'll enjoy plenty of fast runs on the interstate when she'll be old enough to wear her seat belt!
Thanks guys!

I did look at the R63, it's just not very pretty. Plus my wife doesn't really care if it has a tone of power. She's been driving the 04 E500 wagon for more than 6 months and I don't think it went over 2500 rpm! The wagon just clicked 101K, in 2 years I'll buy her a 2011 W212 E350 wagon, by then they will be in the price range that I want to pay for it.
Thanks for all your wishes!

Congradulations, that's great, even greater news for your little one to know that their 1st ride was in ''The Beast"

Wonderful, Cheers.
