Detroit Auto Show: Dr. Z Pours Us A Pint Of Bass, We Warm Up To Ze Germans

Daimler head Dr. Dieter "Tobias Funke" Zetsche, or Dr. Z as he's more affectionately known to us, was once again serving up beers at this year's Firehouse aftershow party (we were nervous that, after Daimler dropping down to only a partial owner he'd not come back). Though he only served up a few pints, we were quick to get in line and have him serve up a tasty brew for us. As any cowboy knows, a long day on the trail works up a mighty thirst. The same goes for the press. This is doubly true when hundreds of longhorn cattle show up at the Detroit Auto Show. Enjoy the photos of Ze Zetsche grabbing us Ze Bass.

@JB_Jeep: I think he may be a mustache afficionado preparing to meet his idol...

@FLB: They referred to him as "tobias funke" who as we all know is a "never nude". which means he has the fear of being naked and will only strip down to some short, tight jean shorts

If I could have Dr. Z as my bartender, I think my life would be complete. Ideally, of course, everyone in the bar would be sporting some heavy-duty moustache action (male, female, we all need to keep our upper lips warm).

It's really hard not to like this guy. Could you get a sound byte of him pronouncing "Jalopnik"?

That's the sort of picture that gets framed over the mantle next to the shot of you and George Bush Sr. fly fishing in Little Blackfoot River. Also, I had no idea Jim Halpert was a Jalopnik employee.

Stefan from VW on the other hand, has a really nasty sense of humor.
