Sold the Cobra, the new ride...

Haha....I can find out if it's possible. From what I have heard, the car "may" reteach itself the correct height and go back to normal after some time. What year CLS?

all the newer benz's I've driven feel like the parking brake is on when you start out. Only one that didn't feel like that was a McLaren SLR. is there a reason for that? always drove me crazy.

The cars default to C (comfort) on the transmission. There should be a C/S button on the center console. when in C mode, the car starts off in 2nd gear and shifts earlier and smoother for economy. I hate this too and wish I could get it to default to S when the car is started. In S, the car starts in first, shifts faster and holds revs longer. AMG cars will allow you to stay in S/C/or M by default from what I have seen.

Also, these cars tend to have a very heavy gas pedal, ie: you gotta give it some to get it goin, not sensitive like domestics, asian cars, etc. Most german cars are like this from what I have seen and driven. MB, BMW, and Audi for sure.

Very nice choice.

thank you for that answer, I used to valet, and every damn time I got in a benz, I'd check the parking brake, put it in gear, start to drive off..... then "oh crap did I leave the parking brake on?" nope it's just a benz. If not for that, they would be some of my favorite cars. not knocking it, just venting about the ONE thing I don't like about them.

Nice ride, they really updated the interior for 2012 on the C class and the 'new' DI 3.5 is a sweet motor, 306hp I believe with better fuel economy.

I tried to work a lease for my wife for a '12 E350 Cab and the guy I was working with gave me a retarded money factor, so I walked. I told him to quote Tier 1 and obviously he didn't listen. Maybe, you'd be easier to deal with and understand I'm a car enthusiast that has a pretty good handle on what the going rate is for MB vehicles.

nice looking ride...

damn would have liked to see some good pictures of the whole car, not just tiny portions

Looks slow

[Skidmark]

I can dig it. The interior is sweet!

[The Sarge]

that's beautiful.

Nice car man.

All I have to say is that Dallas traffic ain't got shit on Hampton roads traffic. On average it takes me an hour and fifteen mins to get the 28 miles to work. And that's an average, lol.

Haha, sorry, some people wanted detailed shots on the MB forums and a few others I'm on. I can get you more if you are really interested though. I just took these quick on my day off. I'm kind of a picture whore, it's one of my hobbies.

I bet my brother would like some of those pics. He does photography for Park Place. Just did a pretty damn crazy shoot of a Mclaren. They shut down a highway for it and he had the Dallas skyline in the background. Pretty rad.

Edit: I just tried to find some of the pics from the shoot. Here is a link http://blog.brianbraun.net/

Is he at the Premier Collection? Those look like awesome pics, and a ton of fun!! I would love to just do photography full time like that....I just have fun with it!
