First road trip/First Ticket
This car is crazy.
At first I wasn't sure how I was going to like it on road trips, coming out of a CL63, which was so comfortable on long trips, but was almost boring.
The drive was very exciting, well too exciting. Got a ticket in VA driving from Jersey to NC. Going 86 in a 70. Didn't even realize how fast I was going until I was getting pulled over. The scary part is that this happened, and I didn't even get through the break-in at that point.
WTF LOL

You really need to get a good Escort/Beltronics product. These animals tend to move quickly and the local road revenue generators do not have a sense of humor. NOT try in to steal the thread, just making a comment.

'14 E63S, '13 G550, '06 E320 cdi, and a bunch of other stuff.
Radar detectors are quite illegal to use in VA. Great way to bump up a fine or get it confiscated.
I95 is nearly a superspeedway. No reason to try to set a pole position lap.

Yes, they have Radar detector detectors. I know with my escort Solo when it senses those it shuts down. Tickets suck.
You gotta really look out for those speed cameras too, I know for a fact they have them in MD as I got a ticket in the mail last year. This year when I was driving back from Fl in MD I realized I might have been over the limit when I passed through a EZ pass toll and was thinking, wow, hopefully I wont get a ticket again this year at the same spot as last year when I was heading back north from Fla. It seems the only really safe place to go fast is the race track.

While I was on this road trip, I finally got through my 1k.
I was having a lot of fun even then without exceeding the rpm and speed limitations. I did ping them once or twice but never for more than a second or so.
I don't know how I am going to get this thing sideways, the AWD makes it very consistent.
