Stayed with friends in Stuttgart for a few days, who offered to take me to the Mercedes Museum. I agreed only after they assured me that it was as much about history as about cars.

| My dear friends Matthias and Roger, in front of the Mercedes Museum. |
On our way to the museum, Roger turned to me and said, "I guess to you, going here is like visiting Mordor!"

| Super-cool Mercedes from the 1930s! (Highest speed ever attained on a public road - to this day:268mph) |
Some of their cars were pretty cool - especially the older models. Though Roger's assessment was actually pretty accurate. The founders of Mercedes were the first to invent the internal combustion engine, it turns out.
