Mercedes-Benz Museum

I didn't do too much last week, so I had nothing to write about.  Yesterday, however, I drove 2.5 hours to Stuttgart to visit the Mercedes-Benz Museum.  I was told by the guys at MTU that it is a very well-done museum, and they are right.  Just like the BMW Museum, the building was visually stunning on the inside.  The difference between this and the BMW Museum, however, is that Mercedes has a historical timeline throughout the museum that intertwined the history of the company with major world events.  It was pretty cool.  The cars were also pretty cool, but I think overall the cars at the BMW museum looked better, with a few exceptions.
