 This was Mercedes top of the line car.  I was told that it cost $144,000 new. I cannot verify that.  It has every conceivable option that I can think of- from massaging seats to dark legal tinted windows, parking sensors, leather interior, etc.  And does that V12 really go!!   Why couldn't I have owned this 40 years ago?  That beautiful silver paint with the Fergiano custom 20 inch newer tires has a Camaro like appearance. It is plenty fast even for a non turbo version.


    Everybody who sees this car really are awe struck by it's 100 mph look.  If you are power mad you can add the twin turbos and computer chip and you can pull over 700hp out of this brute.  Let your grandmother drive this and it will get about 15mpg.   When you are driving it  at 130 (limiter) you just don't have time to look at a gas gauge. - and smoking past most "fast cars" their drivers are shocked and must think it was just an F16 going by.   Yes I may be exaggerating but once you get into the cockpit of this thing you will find out that there is nothing but pure pleasure aboard.   I have had several women want to buy it but don't have the funds.    

    Now for the negatives-  if you are married your wife will not like this car for obvious reasons.   At 63 years of age that is not so much a concern but my wife hates the car because I bought it without telling her until I brought it home.  Sorry, it has been so enjoyable, but finally the negativity has worn me down and I need to go on with my life.  There are a few issues with the car.  This car has a rebuilt title.  Rebuilt means that it was wrecked but has been repaired and inspected by the state to get a rebuilt title.  This car has the original hood and front fenders so the damage in my opinion was not that bad.  This car drives straight and does not display any hints of ever being in a wreck.  I would not afraid to take my hands off the wheel at 100 miles an hour.  There are
a few other things.  The Distronic unit has a pinhole in it so it doesn't work.  It slows your car down automatically if you are approaching  a car too fast.  About as necessary as hubcaps on mag wheels, but part of the equipment that came with the car.  The ABS light has been on since I got the car but I know that this car will stop on a dime every time.  The engine light has stayed on since I purchased the car but after being serviced at the Isringhauser Mercedes dealership they told me not to be too concerned about the lights.  If you are serious about the car you are more than welcome to have this car diagnosed  locally at your own expense.  Two other concerns- sometimes when you first try to start the car you have to turn the switch back off and on one time or the ignition will not engage. I assume a new ignition switch will cure that but I never got around to getting it fixed.  And if you let the car sit for a week or so the body will settle onto of the tires. Read where the active body control often had a leaking hose.  Start the car up and it goes back up.   Just come and drive it- make your own mind up.  I owe more on this car than I am asking for it but the enjoyment I have gotten from it has been worth it.  I have not abused this car but have enjoyed its abilities on occasion.  Come have a look and fly this beast.

Erebus Motorsport Mercedes E-Class V8 Supercar completes the field [w/videos]

Sat, 23 Feb 2013

Ford, Holden and Nissan introduced their V8 Supercar challengers a while back. Erebus Motorport, whose racing program got the green light not even 120 days ago, has finally shown off the Mercedes-Benz E-Class racer that will complete this year's field of entries. The first AMG race car ever to be built outside of Germany, it's an Australian-built tube-frame chassis specced to the series' Car of Tomorrow rules, fitted with body panels that channel the E63 AMG.
Supported by AMG Customer Motorsport, the 5.0-liter engine is provided by HWA in Germany, the racing arm of AMG. Regulations dictate that it have roughly 650 horsepower, a redline between 7,000 and 7,500 rpm and a torque curve that matches the parity baseline set for all cars.
Lee Holdsworth, Tim Slade and Maro Engel will drive the three team cars, each with different sponsors. Their first showing will be at the Clipsal 500 on March 3 in Adelaide, here in the US we'll get to see them in May at the Circuit of the Americas. Check out the videos below of the Erebus car starting up at its launch, and footage of all of this year's cars doing pre-season testing on track together.

Firing of M-B boss upheld

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.

LA To The Grand Canyon In The Mercedes-Benz Of RVs
Piloting an 8,500-pound motorized house down the highway is far from my idea of fun, yet inexplicably, I'm enjoying myself. My grin has nothing to do with my camper's handling, as this heavily accoutered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter drives like a 25-foot long breadbox. My smile has nothing to do with on-road stability, as the ten-foot-tall, slab-sided vehicle reacts to wind gusts like the vertical stabilizer on a Boeing jet. My delight has nothing to do with its throttle or braking response, either, as both are as numb as your forehead after the eighth beer.
This monstrosity makes me happy for one reason - my passengers are undeniably having a good time.
