First Drive

　　My new car, a Mercedes-Benz SLK200, arrived on May 2nd. I had to stay in my office until 1700 hours on that day, so I asked my dealer to deliver it at 6 o'clock in the evening. I wanted to drive it on the next day, but I was to join the Asagiriko Marathon with my friends on May 3rd., and I had to wait for the first drive until today.
　　I visited two museums, Kuma Art Museum and Omogo Nature Museum, both of which are located in a rural area and the traffic to them was not so busy. My car has the function to keep the distance with the former one constant, which means that I became free from handling the gas pedal. I have to put my right foot on the pedal in case of emergency, but this function is sure to help my driving.
　　Driving my new car was great fun and the number of my entries about my new car will be increased.
