Why Stuttgart

A lot of ppl ask me why i chose Stuttgart as immersion and not Darmstadt, since doing immersion with Stuttgart will mean that i'm bonded to the university in the Baden Wurtemburg state when i do exchange. But oh well, this is why i want to be here, not just the musuem, but the fact that i'm standing on places where 200 years ago, a species call homo sapien drove their first car.

Yes that's the brand name that everyone knows around the world. Do you know that it comes from the name of the daughter of a enthusiastic 'gentlemen driver' who drives his own car, since at that time, ppl who have cars usually hires chaffeur.

And i must tell you, this is the most high tech museum i've ever visited in my entire life. everyone in the musuem is given a small audio device, where you can listen to the guide and explanation through the headphone wherever you roam, eliminating the need of tour guides.

A very fierce Merc. It's a concept car, and this one here, i have no idea if it will come out in the market.

My aboslute fav Merc. Yes i'm not a Merc fan but this one is breathtaking - the McLaren SLR.

Some random shots of old cars in the museum. It's really too much things to see, too little time.

So in the end, i have to go back early. But i did manage to visit their showroom and guess wad.. A new C class Merc costs about 40,000 Euro. That's about 80,000 Sing dollar which cant even get you a Camry i think. LOL.
