What's this button for?

My girlfriend was inspired to try my CLK55 without the ESP / traction control button after participating in a Mercedes C-Class driving event at Texas Motor Speedway this morning.

She found out pretty quick that 376 lb/ft of torque will melt a set of Michelins quickly.....

Who was her instructor?
She is in a very poor driving position, her arms are not in the correct position, and her body appears to be in an uncomfortable position (over extended).

Well at least she went out and tried a driving course, most people won't.
More power to her!

My wife loves to take the Beast out for a drive - She says " I like it when I jump off the line when the light turns green, those boys in the area think they are cool, I show them" You Go Girl - She also use to drive my 996 with the same thrill - Gotta love it..

My g/f asked if she could drive my CLK55....now I know the answer :p

bodyart27@aol · 06-22-2003, 12:12 AM

she's not too bad behind the wheel

We went drag racing with the car last year in Ennis - Texas Motorplex - I left ESP on for her and she ran 13.8 - 14.1s and embarrased some pretty decent cars in the opposite lane

once I she understood the lights (leave on last yellow), she could cut a pretty good tree!
