I found this on the Netzero homepage. Kind of neat, nothing groundbreaking.

Was just about to post a link to this myself.

Don't know where I've been but I had never heard of Mercedes' "the luxurious Maybach, which can cost more than $350,000 depending on one's choice of wood, leather and other extras, including a golf bag" - not that I'd want or need a golf bag.

The article was fine, but they spent way too much time talking about this Maybach.

I'm not sure what that car is either. But I bet for 350K there aren't a ton of people ordering them!

Just makes me glad we have a choice of what we drive.

The Maybach is benzo's version of a Rolls Royce or Bentley!! Its supposed to be a car to be driven in and not to drive, if you catch my drift!! For the rich and famous only i guess, oh and Simon Cowell (the pop idol judge) has one on order!

There was/is quite an uproar over this in the Owner's Lounge. Seems many are upset that an "outsider" -- a "non-MINI owner" -- was allowed access to the Owner's Lounge.
