THIS is a nice place to visit
Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Germany. Without a doubt high on my bucket list of places to visit in Germany.

Silberpfeile
To drive a car that was basically an engine and a fuel tank strapped to four wheels over 300 km/h… And to do that while wearing a white overall and an aviation cap (but with goggles) as safety equipment?
Balls of brass. No, better: steel. That takes balls of steel.
Cadillacly Cool
For the 1950 edition of the 24 Heures du Mans, Briggs Cunningham took two Cadillacs to La Sarthe, a Coupe de Ville and the famous Spider “Le Monstre”. Without a doubt one of the most awesome duo of cars to ever race at Le Mans .
Le Mans 1990
Porsche 962C #6, driven by Jean-Louis Ricci, Henri Pescarolo and Jacques Laffite. Only managed 14th place, but has an AWESOME livery.
And I have one .
