2008 Mercedes Benz SLK320 review

When driving your new 2008 Mercedes Benz SLK320 in snow and you get stuck, straighten the wheels and accelerate slowly. Avoid spinning your tires, because the heat friction caused by spinning tires will melt the snow and creates a thin layer of ice. Use sand under the drive wheels to increase traction if you get a little stuck. Never stand in traffic to push a car that's stuck. Someone else could loose control and seriously cause injury.
