For this AMG mercedes ML55

If eBay is still alive

If your bid does survive

You may win. . . 



In the year twenty-oh-nine

Nice Price or Crack Pipe searches to find

Car and trucks for such a cost

That you may think the seller's sense is lost



In the year twenty-oh-oh
This mercedes truck first said hello

The seller claims it's horsepower is four hundred

He likes it better than a Cayenne, in case you wondered

Back in the year twenty-oh-oh
Mercedes got the SUV bug, don't you know
Built these things in Tennessee
And this one's engine's by AMG

whoa-a-o




Now in the year twenty-oh-nine

The seller wants fourteen grand, won't take less a dime

It's a truck that looks like a minivan

And he claims it was owned by a celebrity man



In the year nineteen-sixty-nine

Evan & Zager wrote a song all about time

About pollution, and how we are bad

It was a hit even though it made people sad



Back in the year twenty-oh-nine

Zager's mercedes is on the eBay auction line

The seller thinks with this history the value it will nudge

But we all know you'll all be the judge

whoa-a-o




Now it's a mercedes ML55

That's not too bad a truck to have when you're alive

It should be quick, should handle too

But about the cost, what will you do?

Is fourteen grand a price that's nice?

Is the celebrity history a throw of the dice?

For this truck, what would you really pay
?
So it's not crack pipe, and saves the seller's day?

whoa-a-o

Mercedes-Benz makes in-car iPhone® connection even easier

Stuttgart - Whether it be a quick call to a business colleague for an important discussion, listening to favourite music tracks or checking home and office e-mails whilst on the move - the Apple iPhone® is a leading-edge business tool with multimedia capability, available in Germany and other markets. Now Mercedes-Benz allows the iPhone® connection to be fully integrated into the vehicle architecture for the first time - once again pointing the way ahead for the automotive industry. The new Apple iPhone® cradle allows simple switching between the telephone and audio functions. What's more, thanks to the location of the cradle in the centre console, the iPhone® is within easy reach of both the driver and the front passenger. For ease of use, the iPhone® is controlled via the multifunction steering wheel, while the vehicle display is used to indicate the phone status or music functions and information such as the track title and artist.

Over 100,000 people in Germany have already purchased an iPhone® - made by US electronics giant Apple - since its launch in November 2007. By introducing the new cradle for the Apple iPhone®, Mercedes-Benz has made it even easier to enjoy the special benefits of this trend-setting multimedia application, even when on the move in the car. This fully integrated solution - the first of its kind - enables either the phone functions or the audio functions on the iPhone® to be activated. As ever, the device is easy to use thanks to the controls on the multi-function steering wheel, all of which enhances road safety, as the driver's hands remain on the steering wheel, leaving them free to concentrate on the traffic and the other controls in the cockpit.

Perfect reception is assured as the iPhone® connects to the vehicle aerial automatically when inserted into the cradle. A further advantage is the automatic recharging of the iPhone® battery whilst the phone is sitting in the cradle.

On his Web site Schuler answers some of the obvious questions. He began gluing pens in June of 2005 and none of the pens work due to weather. When it rains it causes the felt tips pens to leak and he washes the car with using soap and water and gently scrubbing the pens. He recently appeared at the Maker Faire in California and has many other events coming up. [Pen Guy via Make]

True, the 420 models are common-rail turbodiesel MB products we can't get in the states. However, with the Detroit introduction of Audi's stump-yanking yet chicky micky Q7 V12 TDI we're betting we'll be seeing these urea scrubbed toughies sooner than later. Which means that Brabus has got a tuning kit for us. It is called the PowerXtra D8 (III) and not only will it Bruce-up the GL and ML with full Brabus bodywork, but will in fact fit any Euro 4 Mercedes diesel. If there is one thing we've learned, it's that 516lbs. ft. of torque sucks. Yes sir, we need 590 pounds of twist per foot like Paula Abdul needs an intervention. The GL450 is already our favorite wide-body SUV with it's politically incorrect petrol unit. We're grinning and nodding just imagining the thrill of an 800Nm oil-burner underfoot (even if it would put out more than 307g/km of C02). And yes, for those wondering, 800Nm equals about 590lbs. ft of torque. And no, we don't like the metric system either. – Jonny Lieberman
