Nico Rosberg Loves His Mercedes Young & Old

Nico Rosberg sees a lot of the infamous Mercedes three-pointed star when he's at his day job. He's working his way around it, operating a thousand switches and dials to keep his F1 on track; most recently taking first place in the Monaco Grand Prix; not at all bored by the marque and remaining 100% patriotic, Nico Rosberg has tweeted pictures of himself with his own classic Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda.

Teammate, Lewis Hamilton out does the German in garage stakes, but I love the fact Nico has gone for something so iconic and beautiful. He scores extra points for cleaning his own car, too.

Kourtney Kardashian Runs Errands in Her New Mercedes S-Class

Kourtney Kardashian was spotted getting into her new Mercedes-Benz S550 in Los Angeles recently. The new S550 is an upgrade from her older S-Class she had for years. Kourtney's casually mentioned before that she doesn't care as much about what kind of car she drives compared to her family members but something tells us that doesn't mean she'll be getting behind the wheel of a minivan anytime soon. 😉

2015 Ford Focus 1.0L EcoBoost Sedan Tested: Three’s (Not Enough) Company
