Mercedes-Benz R500: brake pedal clencher

^^This is what leaped to mind after I nearly plowed through the turnstile when trying to leave the office yesterday. I don't recall the R500's brake pedal having this much initial pedal mush before generating actual braking power. Almost as if the pedal free play has increased over time. I'm sure my fellow editors will let me know if this is real or if I'm just losing my mind...

That is one delicious braking system.

Another reason why the R500 is the perfect car to go camping with.
