1/29/2021 — Mercedes Benz. I couldn’t find a yellow one, but here’s a bright shiny red one:

Mercedes (red (for now))

This has been a fun one! I went to the closest dealership, best I could find was red. There weren’t enough cars parked in Center City yet, so I might have to go out to the rich suburbs next. Thanks drevil for getting me out on a bike on what otherwise would’ve been too cold/windy a morning.

Yellow ones are indeed rare! Settled on this red one.

Red and blue were easy to find, yellow was indeed elusive, but then the flashy green car caught my eye. I have sacrificed extra points by not posting the red and blue cars, in the hope that the judge will find the flashy green, not only eye catching, but worthy of extra points.

1/29 Mercedes Benz

Samantha and I rode through Mercedesville (aka Old Town Alexandria) on our way to Ft Hunt. Too many Benz to count, every color except yellow. Here’s a shiny red one which I might covet just a bit[emoji848]

Yellow cars of any make are difficult to find in this city. So I settled for red.

On January 29, 1886, Karl Benz is awarded the patent for the first successful gasoline-driven automobile.

On your ride, capture a Mercedes Benz vehicle. Sounds easy, right? Well, if you want a few more points, find a less popular color as listed below:

• 3 points for a yellow vehicle
• 2 points for a red or blue vehicle
• 1 point for all other colors

Since we’re basing extra points on color, make sure it’s easy to discern (i.e.., make sure it’s not too dark).

You can upgrade your answer throughout the day, but if you modify your post after 1/29, it’ll only be worth 1 point. Also, you’ll only get point(s) for a single vehicle even if there is a gaggle of them in the photo.

Happy hunting!

For those of us hunting in the US, where color choices are increasingly limited, I’m hoping this yellowish older (and not looking too healthy) model suffices for the big points. If not, this beautiful blue one for less points (but certainly more functionality) is my submission. I agree with the rider who said thanks for getting us out on a windy, cold day riding to places we’d not been inclined to ride to!

My red one is in storage, I don’t want to start the discussion about getting a bike into an old SL, so here’s a new red one.

The rare and elusive but captured Yellow AMG-GT/Coupe!

… painted on the side of the MB of Arlington service truck, as there were no yellow ones to be found on the lot, in the showroom nor in the service bays;-)

1/29/21 – Mercedes Benz

I really wasn’t in the mood to go out riding on yet another cold, windy day, so thank you for choosing something I could find right on my block (Benz on the right, BMW on the left). I know it looks kinda black in the picture, but it’s a navy blue (I believe the Mercedes name for it is “Lunar Blue Metallic”). This is Ann’s third Mercedes in the time we’ve lived on the same block, and they’ve all been blue sedans. I rode around the block to see if I could photograph one of the other Mercedes I know of in the neighborhood, but the blue one two blocks over has been replaced by a grey one, and the classic red 450SL convertible had a car cover over it.

Mercedes Benz
Looked in many of the medical parks in the Tysons area and found numerous black and grey Benz’s, but only colored one I saw was this one parked on the street.
