I have owned this beautiful G500 for almost 5 years, and have kept it under Mercedes Benz warranty the entire time (warranty expires 6/22/14). I wanted the vehicle to look exactly as it does, and it took some time and expense to get it there. The wheels are powder coated in textured black. The stereo/nav was replaced with a Kenwood, ipod friendly unit, with much updated nav, etc., amp and 10" sub in back. Obviously, this gives you much better navigation and a much, much better stereo. The Hannibal roof rack was not available in the US until I bought this one, and it was a couple of thousand dollars, but makes the vehicle. The rear spare tire is a BF Goodrich all-terrain like the others, and contains locking storage compartment, for that more off-road (and black) look. The four rolling tires are in great shape. It has the brush guard, light guards, etc. in black as well. The stock spare tire cover (chrome surround, etc) comes with the truck if you like that look, but it will not fit over the BFG tire, as well as the stock stereo. There are full weather tech rubber mats covering entire floor in vehicle and cargo area. The truck has 115,000 miles at this point, and we are reluctantly replacing it with something newer for a daily driver. Already have a 911 TT that just sits in the garage or this would be kept. I never get tired of looking at this car. If you are not familiar with G-wagens, you should familiarize yourself with them before bidding on this vehicle. They are amazing vehicles designed with specific purposes in mind. For example, this car will drive around on hills in the snow like there is no snow. They are amazing. However, they are not Range Rovers. They are not luxury grocery haulers. If you have not driven one, much less a 7 year old one, you should do so before buying this vehicle. It has been maintained as well as any G-wagen around, but they are noisy, rough-riding, somewhat uncivilized vehicles. Knowing that, there is not a more unique ride around. If you like attention, or you don't, you are going to get a lot of it. Email me with questions or to request more pictures at rnridout@ridoutlumber.com. I had a little trouble uploading some of the pictures for some reason so some did not make it into ad. There is one star on the windshield and one small ding that looks like it was caused by a golf ball beside the gas door. I have included a picture of each. The pockets on inside bottom of the two front doors have been removed because they creak constantly when driving. BTW, this car is not being sold b/c of the accident. After had already decided to sell, wife's foot stuck under brake because of UGG boot, and she hit car in school parking lot. Brush guard bent and hit passenger front fender crimping it slightly; nothing mechanical. All parts replaced, and repair carries lifetime warranty. You cannot tell it occurred. Car looks amazing. Happy bidding.

Mercedes GLC spotted nearly nude ahead of tomorrow's reveal

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Mercedes is set to officially take the wraps off its new GLC-Class crossover tomorrow, but if you can't wait that long, here it is all but completely undisguised. The GLC, for those just joining us, is the replacement for the GLK, rounder and renamed to align more closely with the C-Class. It was previewed as a slant-roofed concept in Shanghai, but as you can see, it'll reach production with a more conventional greenhouse. Rooflines (and various show-car details) aside, the production GLC looks pretty close to the aforementioned Concept GLC Coupe. Certain elements on this pre-production unit still remain taped up to keep from our prying eyes – though the engineer driving it doesn't seem to mind. We can at least hope that rather ungainly looking chrome lower rear bumper element is just there to throw us off, or will look more convincing as part of a complete package. But we'll be finding out one way or another tomorrow... so watch this space. Related Video:

13-year-old boy swipes dad's Mercedes, drives across Europe

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

After an argument with his adoptive parents that resulted in them taking away his mobile phone, an angry 13-year-old boy ran away from his home in Italy and headed straight to Poland to meet his biological sister. But instead of taking the train or hitching a ride, like most on the run, the young man (an accomplished go-kart racer and car enthusiast) grabbed the keys to his father's Mercedes-Benz and jumped behind the wheel for an impromptu road trip.
With less than 200 euros (about $270) in his wallet and a passport in his pocket, the youngster managed to put more than 500 miles between himself and his distraught parents, crossing two international borders in the process, before German police nabbed him just shy of the Polish border. According to reports, the vehicle was tracked - it wasn't his driving that alerted authorities to his location.
Reunited with his mother and father, who traveled to Germany to retrieve both their son and the vehicle, the young man apologized and acknowledged his error. As a result of his actions, social workers will increase checks on the family and we can be sure his parents are now hiding the keys.

Pre-Race notes from the 2015 Nurburgring 24-Hours

Sat, May 16 2015

Autoblog has come to the German countryside to watch the Nurburgring 24-Hour race, and just one day in, we have to say it's outstanding. Le Mans has been the highlight of our summer racing schedule for the past few years, the 'Ring 24-Hour event being the appetizer we always skipped. Earlier this year, however, while visiting Miami to check out the Cigarette Racing 50 Marauder GT S, we met Scott Preacher. He oversees digital marketing for both Cigarette and AMG during the week, then comes to Germany to compete in the VLN race series on the weekends, driving an Aston Martin Vantage GT4 for Team Mathol. If Le Mans is the Oscars of endurance racing, the Nurburgring 24-Hour race is the Screen Actors Guild award – the one voted on by the actors, for the actors. In this case it's the race by the teams and fans, for the teams and fans, even though the increasing manufacturer presence has altered the team equation. We were told that it wasn't so long ago that true privateers could win the overall, but that's not really the case anymore. Front-running teams have heavy factory involvement Â– Audi Sport Team Phoenix, for instance, which finished in first and third last year, has its own 'Ring race center and is running the 2016 R8; Aston Martin is represented by Aston Martin Racing and Aston Martin Test Center, and Bentley has a Bentley Motors team and uses HPT to run another team. The fan component hasn't changed, though, and you can't talk about the race for more than 60 seconds before someone brings up the battalions of spectators. Every driver we spoke to cited them as the most incredible part of this race after the track itself. It feels to us like a giant German Sebring, with thousands of people camped out in the ginormous, forested infield, many of whom have been here since Monday erecting their ornate camping compounds. There will be parties everywhere Saturday night, and so much bratwurst on the grill that the drivers can smell it when as they're blasting full speed through Wehrseifen. Even when we drove a Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe on a lap before the race, the fans waved like it was a competition. Scott Preacher's Australian co-driver Robert Thompson said, "You come around a corner and it's like you're driving full speed through the middle of a carnival." The race field itself could also be called a carnival, with an officially invited field of more than 170 cars. Even on a track that's 24.4-km long, that's like racing on the 405 at midday.
