I'm going to guess the name came from the company's location being in the "peach state"......but still.....


How come other sites like "mercedes(anti-censorTM)source.com" and stuff are able to keep going? Did Daimler just decide to pick on this one?

Censoring competitors sites? I guess.....

Almost a duplicate..........

I am really concerned this site is going to whither and eventually die with this completely unrelated domain name.

Peachparts? Makes us sound like a community of gay Mercedes owners…

If you want to associate it with Georgia, why not name it PeachtreeParts.com? Hmmm, nah, then it'll sound like it's only for Atlanta area MB owners only.

Need corporate sponsorship? Call up the guys at Big Red, makers of this fine soda product.

There may have been a sizable numerical payoff, if you think about it......
