Mercedes R-Class Wagon Signed by The Rolling Stones to Be Auctioned

Those of us who came up in the post—Beggars Banquet world have lots to thank The Rolling Stones for. That means we have to go see them in concert once every 15 years, like clockwork, out of respect. Of course, despite being total ass kickers well into their 60s, the Stones' pre-geriatric megatour product endorsements kind of dilute the experience of hearing "Midnight Rambler" live, while all whiskeyed up (yes, that's a flask, officer, and no, I'm not happy to see you). Nonetheless, one of their sponsored Mercedes R500 tour wagons (signed) is going up for charity auction along with a Fender Telecaster guitar. Interested bidders have to pre-register online. Go forth, pops, and whip out some of that peak-earning-years geesh. More »

Exile on Main Street: Stones Promote Mercedes R-Class on Tour

"R-Class, you mean machine, you make a grown man cry with luxury." Ok, The Rolling Stones' new association with the Mercedes R-Class isn't quite as awkward as that lyrical mash of "Start Me Up," but it's not exactly smooth as "Little Red Rooster" either. Despite the demographic perfection of the deal between Benz and the band, it's still creepy to consider that the sixtysomething rockers who gave us "Let it Bleed" are promoting a Mercedes that might as well be called the AARP-Class. Maybe it's just us. Still, we'll be under the ear cans for the rest of the day, rocking the Stones' '60s-'70s trifecta of Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, and Sticky Fingers and trying not to think about what aunt Lorraine did at Altamont.
