Acrobatic feats

On the first day I had already noticed that there were a bunch of buttons on the driver's side. One of them had an icon of a car on a slope. I guessed it had something to do with stopping the car on a slope. But I did not dare to try it out before checking the manual. This day, whilst there's no one behind me in the carpark exit, I decided to give it a go. Nice.. it held it's position. This would be a boon to new drivers who often have difficulty stopping mid-way on a slope especially with a car load of passengers.

And talking about carparks, normally I'd prefer to reverse into a parking lot as it's easier to get out later. But for the fun of it, I decided to do head-ins with this behemoth car. With a couple of turns I can usually park the car nicely within a regular-sized parking lot without scratching the car (nor the ego :-)

This being a raining day, most people only got out of the house in the late evening when the skies cleared. However, it added to the congestion of cars double and even triple parked alongside the proper parking lots. The nimble Legacy had no problems skirting through the crowded carpark despite its size. But you know what could beat that? Having my black Optimus Prime transform into an autobot and fly over the obstructions! ;-)
