mercedesshop.com?

How many people still type in mercedesshop.com. I do! Just curious. I haven't caught on to the peachparts.com thing yet.

Firefox lets you type in the site name after you've visited the site a while, so all I have to type in is "Diesel Discussion" or just the first few letters and let autocomplete do the rest and I'm here.

I was one of those naysayers about the name change. But now it doesn't matter at all and I refer to this site as PeachParts.
In fact, I think you can name this site anything, even the most outrageous name, and people will still come here. Just the testament of the members who make this site as it is today and going into tomorrow. My hat's off to you all!

I came here after the name change too, and I simply have it labeled on my bookmarks toolbar as "Mercedes Forum".

I'll never go to mercedesshop.com. I heard the members were douchebags. But everybody here is nice. This place is great!

It is one of several tabs that come up automatically in Firefox when I go to the Internet. I had it set that way as well when I was using Internet Explorer. This can be set up in TOOLS / OPTIONS at the top of the page in case you are are having to manually type this in every time you start your Internet connection.

I found that with my addictive personality, I just could not deal with the delay in getting to this forum when I was having to type the address in manually and on top of that having to type in my user name and password. My browser remembers my user name and password so I don't have to type that in either.
