I guess German Star has been taken (hasn't it?) but maybe something that has German parts in the title. Might be better for corralling business. But Peach Parts isn't bad as long as web searches for Mercedes parts still link to it.

**EDIT** OOps - just did a Yahoo search - no hits on PeachParts.com but plenty of other sites with Mercedes in the domain name.

I would have preferred Jollyroger.com

Since 1982, I had been going to Beatlefest, a Beatles convention.
In the past few years or so, Apple (Beatles Lawyers) got a hold of the owner of the name, the festival, website, etc. that had been copyrighted to my knowledge, and threatened legal action or paid him off.
The story is still fuzzy and I'm sure there was some kind of gag clause in place.

The name is now "The Fest for Beatles Fans" or something that rolls off the tongue as gracefully as a bull slipping and crashing through a china shop.
The website goes by the same name, but as one word.

End result: Everyone who goes still calls it Beatlefest, and the lawyers made out. Do the Beatles benefit by locking up the name?

Will Mercedes-Benz benefit by locking up the name Mercedesshop, or just the Mercedes-Benz lawyers?

Makes me sick.

I don't like the name, but more important, I think it might hurt the forum in the long term.

How about a contest to come up with a better name!

Still think notmercedesshop.com would be a good spoof site for someone to run.

Why peachparts.com isn't showing up in searches for Mercedes parts is what I want to know.

I don't really care as long as this site still exists. I've been through worse forum upheaval.

That being said, Its a shame that we lose the Mercedes name, mainly because of the search-ability factor. I would say something more automotive related would help with people searching for the site. Maybe:

stuttgartcarsusa.com
