Run in with ML320

It was only from about 80-110, but took him by about 5+ car lenghts. Not really worth mentioning, but it was funny since he still had the temp tags on. Improper engine break-in, tsk tsk.

The 320 has a very weak engine for a vehicle that size and weight. Even my 430 is nothing to get excited about, it is still NOT fast.

I raced my brother when he was driving my dad's ML430. Off the line it was surpsingly quick (AWD traction

), but when I was at 30MpH I must have had 2 or 3 carlengths on him. It's not really a car meant to be raced now though, is it?

I don't think I can run with those quite yet, I think they run 15 flat in the Quarter.

My dad has a E320 4matic 2000 that was going to the shop and they loanded out a ML320 2001.... I drove it for a few days because my dad hates SUV's..

I swear to god i have no idea why anybody pays that much for that piece of ****..

blind spots are plenty, the car handles way ****ter than a pathfinder or any other SUV.. ANd the car is just so damn slow. I hated the thing so much, i was going to complain to the dealer to give me just a normal E-320...

But then again most Benzs have fairly soft suspension.. But in an SUV thats FATAL..

I have the opportunity to drive one to. Even light braking makes the front end dip. Granted it's not a sports car, heel and toeing (?) is nearly impossible.
I suppose those SUVs are for image concious people.
