Well, I was just drivin around and I saw a Mercedes Benz. It was an older model and as I drove up behind it I saw it's id number, 190 D. Does anyone else find that kinda creepy that Mercedes has gone evil yet again with Mercedes Benz 190 d's!

cool. i was there once when they had some old bomber command vets visiting the museum. the manager came out and let them onto the lanc they have there. i managed to take a peek through the hatch and see up and down the fuselage but that's all they would allow:furious

Some 190s were powered by DB engines. Read up on the development of the Dora. The D-14 and D-15 were to use DB engines.

Ever notice a general similarity between sportscars and ww2 fighters from the different countries?

Eg: P-47 = 60's muscle car - big engine with lots of power, heavy body means that its not as good when it comes to turning. A6M = Japanese lightweight sportscars like S2000, RX-7(Mazda engineers actually studied A6M design for the last model).

Don't worry - FOCKE WULF made the 190D - not Mercedes.

Compare the turrets of those two tanks: Tiger 1 and Leopard 2.
