I bought this car from the 2nd owners who had owned it for 20 years. They took great care of it. When I bought it, the owners were moving to Colorado to be near their children and they were going to drive the car out there. Their son intervened. Not because the car would not make it, but because his parents were in their 80's. My wife and I just used the car this weekend  on a trip to Pennsylvania Dutch Country, a round trip of about 150 miles. The car performed flawlessly. Runs very cool, excellent oil pressure and cruised steady at 80 mph on the PA Turnpike. It was PA inspected in March and passed with flying colors. Runs very nice and tracks down the road straight and solid. The previous owners put a matched set of Pirelli P6's on the car and they still have half their tread life left. They used Mobil 1 for their oil changes and the car idles perfectly and you cannot feel it running when stopped at a light. All electrics work including the headrests on the seats and the passenger power mirror. Sunroof, windows all work perfectly. The central locking system works nicely.I even tried the cruise control today( I hate cruise control) but wanted to see if it worked and it did. Has an aftermarket Blaupunkt cd player/ radio. The son, who acted on behalf of his parents when the car was sold to me, told me it was his mom's car. He told me she used those big shade boards when she went out and put them in the front windshield and rear package shelf. It paid off as the dash is beautiful and the rear package shelf and tops of rear seats are beautiful also. The door panels are really nice as ar the carpets. The seats are not split or ripped and have only age cracks in the leather. They are very presentable. The only thing that might have to be addressed in the interior is the rear headliner has gotten puffy over the back package shelf. I got a quote to have it drawn tight again. The shop quoted me 125-150. It's for time only, the headliner material is in fine condition. The a/c will have to be recharged as it was only cool last year and now is just warm. The body is very nice. The paint just absolutely glows. I cleaned and polished the car myself and it came up nicely. All the brightwork is very nice. There are 2 spots where the body has bubbled. The one spot is about the size of a quarter and the other spot 2 quarters. I have included the spots in the pucs. They are minor. The bumpers have some scrapes but mostly are decent. I have just ordered spray paint to match the bumpers. It's called Sato Gray and it comes in semi gloss just like the bumpers. I will include that for the new owner. Even the wheels, which have some nicks as you would imagine a 25 yaer old car would, have nice gloss to them. I get thumbs up and people asking me about it all the time. It's not a show car but is extremely presentable and you will be proud to drive this car as I have been.

Dartz promises own 6x6 G-Class with golden shishas and a dining room

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

So you didn't really think Dartz Motorz was going to let the limited-production, 544-horsepower Mercedes 6x6 G63 AMG go without a challenge, did you? Picking up the gauntlet as only Dartz can, the Russian dream-makers have come up with the Sahara G-eopard, supposedly a special request from a buyer to make one of the 'standard' six-wheelers "more opulent and insane."
That means the vehicle from the factory gets extended by about a foot (30 centimeters), coach doors in the rear, a "yacht floor" and air conditioning that runs on its own power source, Asanti 24-inch Gold Bullion wheels and a water dispenser with Russian diamonds, which the owner will need to fill the golden shishas (hookahs) in the portable smoking room. That's right, you heard the man: a portable smoking room. Where the occupants will retire when they're finished in the portable dining room. Of course.
Yes, it will even have leopard spotting painted onto its nano-coating, and so much more. You can check out the press release below from the source. Try not to be jealous.

Daimler exec hypothetically discusses 3-cylinder engines for small hybrids

Wed, Mar 26 2014

Is three the magic number of cylinders for Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and its efforts to build smaller powertrains for its compact hybrids? Potentially, yes, the German automaker could see the need for three-cylinder mills, Automotive News reports. The company doesn't have any plans for them as of yet, though. Daimler executive Bernhard Heil talked with Automotive News about the challenges of using four-cylinder engines in a front-wheel-drive setup and said that three-cylinder engines could work in transverse-mounted powertrains for hybrid cars. For now, though, the company doesn't actually have any plans to go in that direction, Mercedes-Benz spokesman Christoph Horn said in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen. Horn wrote that Heil "actually said that if ever MB would use a three-cylinder engine than [it would be] in a configuration where space is restricted, such as when using a hybrid power train in a compact car." Of course, the only compact "hybrid" that Mercedes-Benz has is the 2015 C-Class, but that refers to the "hybrid" body is made of 48-percent aluminum, up from the current nine percent, as well as steel. It has nothing to do with the powertrain. Beyond that, there's always the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid that the company unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show last fall, but that model, which will debut in Europe later this year and arrive stateside next year, has a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 and an 80-kilowatt electric motor that propels the plug-in from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds. Not exactly three-cylinder territory, that.

Race recap: 2016 Monaco Grand Prix gets very wet, a little wild

Mon, May 30 2016

More than at any other race, the Monaco Grand Prix question is: which combination of demolition derby, Safety Cars, and bad pit strategy will decide the podium? Last year Lewis Hamilton's late, confounding pit stop cost him victory. The year before, Nico Rosberg's qualifying "mistake" put him on pole and Mercedes-AMG Petronas' pit strategy sealed his win – good for Nico, bad for Hamilton and the rest of the field. In 2013 Hamilton dropped from second to fourth when he lollygagged in the pits. In all three years, Rosberg won. The new X factor for 2016: a Red Bull resurgence that helped Daniel Ricciardo clinch his first career pole. Nevertheless, bad pit strategy had its say in the results. Ricciardo built up a 13-second lead by Lap 15 in spite of heavy rains that forced the Safety Car to lead the first eight laps of the race. Ricciardo stopped on Lap 23 to switch to intermediate tires for the drying track, ceding the lead to Hamilton. Hamilton pitted from the lead on Lap 31 for softs, then Red Bull pulled Ricciardo in again on Lap 32 and made a snap decision to put him on ultra softs, but the tires weren't ready when Ricciardo reached his pit box. What should have been a three-second pit stop turned into a 13.6-second pit stop. Ricciardo left the pits as Hamilton came down the straight and the Aussie lost the lead into the first corner. Despite two attempts to pass later in the race, Hamilton finished first, the Aussie second. It's the second race in a row where pit strategy cost Ricciardo a near-certain win. Conversely, Force India nailed both tire strategy and pit timing with Sergio Perez. The Mexican started in eighth but got into third before half the race was done, passing four cars in the pits, and finished on the podium's final step. Otherwise the order barely changed from about half distance, with Ferrari driver Sebatian Vettel in fourth, followed by Fernando Alonso in the McLaren, Nico Hulkenberg in the second Force India, Rosberg in the second Mercedes, Carlos Sainz for Toro Rosso, Jenson Button in the second McLaren, and Felipe Massa taking the final point for tenth for Williams. Storms didn't only hover over the area, though – dark clouds hung around several teams and drivers. Mercedes' reliability is no longer so reliable. The Silver Arrows suffered engine issues on both cars in qualifying, and Hamilton's problem almost kept him from setting a time in Q3.
