2000 Mercedes Cl500 Xenon, Amg Rims Owned By Hootie & Blowfish Darius Rucker on 2040-cars
Savannah, Georgia, United States

I've always liked the CL500 and bought this CL500 at a Copart auction as I couldn't understand why it was there. No body damage, no interior damage but the car wouldn't start. So after winning the bid I checked the fuel pump fuse and was pleasantly surprised to hear the V8 engine come to life and sounding good as new. The weird thing was when I was picking up the car I was approached by a worker who asked if I had bought "Hooties Car". I said I guess, and went on my way. When I got the car home I was thinking about "Hooties Car" and went to investigate as I knew he lived around Charleston SC. Sure enough, tucked away in a hidden compartment was the insurance card issued to Darius Rucker, so if you are a Hootie and the Blowfish fan you can have the ultimate souvenir and ride like a Rock (country) Star! If you're not a fan well here is the scoop on the rest of the car. Exterior is very nice with only normal wear and tear associated with a 128K mile car. Its well optioned with everything from a sunroof to rear shade to Xenon headlights. Runs and drives excellent, engine sounds excellent, shifts flawlessly and the hydraulic suspension functions as it should as when you turn the car on and put it in gear you can feel it self level. Interior is good though being at Copart someone decided to steal the shift knob and surrounding trim (see picture). Rims are in good shape but the rear tires are going to need to be replaced. It was issued a salvage title I'm thinking because of a flood related issue as when I pulled the fuse I could see the signs of a water line that barely breached the floor but as the fuse for the fuel pump is located low on the CL it was effected by the water which blew the fuse. The bad things are as follows: sunroof slider shade is in poor shape and missing its felt cover and will need to be replaced or taken out, power seats do not work probably a result of the water intrusion knocking out the computers which are located on the floorboards, radio works but I do not hear any sound, SRS light is on as well as an ABS light. In all a very nice car that still gets a lot of attention even being a 14 year old Mercedes coupe! I am sure I'm forgetting to address something you may want to know so please feel free to email me and I will be glad to answer any questions. Thanks!

Porsche teams with Delta airlines to woo VIP passengers
Sun, 15 Sep 2013The next time you're waiting for a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, see if you can spot a Porsche Cayenne or Panamera zipping between aircraft on the busy tarmac. The high-performance German vehicles aren't there practicing for an upcoming autocross; they are tasked with whisking some of the airline's most important customers between flights so they can keep their busy schedules intact.
Launched nearly two years ago, the program has proven popular with the automaker, airline and passengers as all benefit from the unique arrangement. Atlanta-based Porsche is able to showcase its cars to Delta's frequent-flying Medallion members, the airline is recognized for providing unusual perks to its high-value customers and those fortunate enough to be surprised with a quick lift are able to make connections without a stressful run through the terminal. Based on its success, the airline is rolling our similar programs in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis this month.
And don't think Porsche is the only automaker working with an airline to entice its frequent flyers. Mercedes-Benz ran a program over the summer that offered purchasing and leasing incentives to MileagePlus Premier members of United Airlines, and the two are currently shuttling top fliers around Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the automaker's S-Class and GL-Class models.
Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.
Mercedes AMG and Cigarette Racing debut 2,220-HP electric motor boat
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell, stretch it and take off the wheels then make it float and you've basically got the just-unveiled Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept. Powered by an all-electric powertrain that offers 2,200 horsepower and 2,213 pound-feet of torque (and uses "numerous components" taken from the not-quite-as-yellow SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive), the sleek concept is being called the "world's most powerful electric drive powerboat." What that means is a top speed of over 100 miles per hour from four 60-kWh lithium-ion batteries and two banks of six liquid-cooled, permanent-magnet synchronous electric motors. And the 240 kWh of total energy should provide plenty of juice out on the water.
Launched (but not literally) at the Miami International Boat Show today, the Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept is the result of a partnership between Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing. The boat is 38 feet long (much longer than the 15-foot SLS) and is plastered with AMG branding on the sides and top of the bow above the matte chrome yellow paint (officially called AMG Electricbeam mango). Two 220-kW chargers can refill the batteries, dockside, in about seven hours.
The idea of a powerful electric boat is nothing new (Henrik Fisker talked about a plug-in hybrid watercraft late last year), but this is the first time we've seen Mercedes put its EV technology on the water. Anyone who's afraid of driving an EV in the rain should take note. Check out the complete press release below.
