I believe that's a Merc problem in general, somehow many (not all!)  
Mercedes drives feel they've reached the top which makes them more  
then us other mortals.

On my visit to the US a few years back I enjoyed driving on the very  
nice highways. I wouldn't mind if the speeds were a little bit higher  
with those distances but then again you get there eventually ;-) When  
I got back to the Netherlands and had to get in the early morning  
trafic jam I somewhat got the feeling there was a race going on!

Well we have the opportunity to visit the US again this year during  
our family holiday. Drivers in the South-West be careful ;-)
