3rd daughter coming in 2 months and a move from AZ to Atlanta are forcing the sale of C43. 1 year ago I had the engine and transmission replaced with a transmission & engine out of a 1999 e55 AMG, the mileage was almost identical, so engine and transmission are with in 1.5k miles. This has increased HP by over 60 and given it a much better transmission. This has been my daily driver for 3 years. I am the third owner, and the first to make the car a daily driver, although my office is only 3 miles from home keeping the miles low. This car provides a great blend of performance, comfort and class without being flashy. I am sad to see it go, it runs like a top!
In the spirit of full disclosure here are all the items on the car that I know need a little attention:
The seats in the front were not treated by previous owner and the leather has cracked, the rear seats are still in good condition, once the garage door was shut when the car was not all the way in putting a scratch in the rear bumper (see photo), the front bumper is very low to the ground and the lower grid broke when pulled to close to a parking curb (also see photo), the relay for the wipers occasionally gets stuck and they stay on, requiring me to turn off the car and then they stay off. Finally the electric seats have a short in the control box and work intermittently, (mostly annoying to my wife but keeps her from driving it:) These are all easy fixes but with a baby and a move I have not been able to take care of them.
The car does have an i-pod and aux. jack for i pods and phones, the controls on the factory in dash unit will control most i pods and i phones, it is an aftermarket plug in that takes the place of the cd changer, which is still in the trunk if you wanted to connect it.
I also have a second set of rims and almost brand new tires for the rear that are a little larger, off the e55 that make the car look really mean but they rub just a little when the car goes over a large bump. This could be cured with a little creativity and I will include them in the sale of you want them. The car has never been in an accident, the previous owner bought it from his boss, who was the original owner. It lived in California originally and then moved to AZ. It has never seen any rust. The car has been treated well, and is straight.
I also purchased an AMG supercharger when I bought the motor that I was planning on installing but the car was so fast with the new motor and lighter weight body that I never got around to installing it. I will sell it for $400 if a buyer is ambitious to make a car with over 550 HP!

The Mercedes-Maybach Pullman Guard is a limo with a bulletproof vest
Thu, Sep 22 2016As fabulously plush as the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman is, there is a certain class of individual for which luxury is only part of the equation. Oligarchs, dictators, kingpins of questionable businesses, and probably some legitimate world leaders all love luxury, but they sometimes face some hairy commutes that demand a bit more protection. For them, the answer to their luxury car needs is the armored Pullman Guard. The Mercedes-Maybach Pullman Guard tops the line of S-Class Guard models that also includes the Mercedes-Benz S600 Guard and the Mercedes-Maybach S600 Guard. Like the non-armored Pullman it packs loads of leather, seats with practically infinite adjustability, and redundant gauges for rear passengers. It is also by far the longest S-Class vehicle available, stretching more than 40 inches longer than the next-longest Mercedes-Maybach. This tremendous length allows the Pullman Guard to have four-passenger seating in the rear, with two seats facing two others. It's the perfect place to sign treaties or entertain diplomats. Or, if foreign affairs aren't your speed, it would also be a convenient place to carve up territory, issue ultimatums to enemies, and intimidate dissidents. The Pullman Guard was developed alongside the standard Pullman, and because of that, the added armor does not sacrifice interior space. The armor does affect weight, though. The Pullman Guard weighs over 11,000 pounds. But, in return, the steel plates on the sides and floor, non-Kevlar-brand high-strength fabrics, and polycarbonate-backed windows protect occupants from bullets and explosives. Plus, the Pullman Guard features a twin-turbo V12 that produces 530 horsepower and 612 lb-ft of torque to haul the added ballast around. If a recognized authority is ordering a Pullman Guard, Mercedes also offers sirens, flashing lights, two-way radios, an emergency starter battery, and a loudspeaker system. These items are sure to be useful when trying to navigate seas of protestors in the streets. All of this extra protection will cost you though, and if you have to ask, you definitely can't afford it. But we'll tell you the price anyway. A standard Pullman will run around $500,000 at current exchange rates. For the Guard model, be prepared to shell out about $1.56 million. It's a steep price for sure, but for those whose pampered lives are in danger, it's probably worth it.
Why all of this year's F1 noses are so ugly [w/video]
Fri, 31 Jan 2014If you're a serious fan of Formula One, you already know all about The Great Nosecone Conundrum of 2014. Those given to parsing each year's F1 regulations predicted the strong possibility of the so-called "anteater" noses as far back as early December 2013. Highly suggestive visual evidence first came after Caterham's crash test in early January, with further proof coming as soon as Williams showed a rendering of the FW36 challenger for this year's championship. That car earned a name that wasn't nearly so kind as "anteater."
Casual followers of the sport - or anyone who gets the feed from this site - probably don't know what's happening, except to wonder why the current year's F1 cars are led by appendages that would make Cyrano de Bergerac feel a whole lot better about himself.
The short answer to the question of ugsome F1 noses is "FIA regulations and safety." The reason there are various kinds of ugsome noses is simpler: engineers. The same boffins who have given us advances including carbon fiber monocoques, six-wheeled cars, double diffusers and Drag Reduction Systems are bred to do everything in their power to exploit every possible freedom in the regulations to make the cars they're building go faster - the caveat being that those advances have to work within the overall philosophy of the whole car.
