BEST OF LUXE!

My sixth sense had kicked in. The presence of something big in my proximity, accompanied by a deep hum amplified with every passing second. I turned to look and was instantly bedazzled. A glimmering Maybach 62 had gracefully pulled into the fuel station. I stood there, frozen, with my jaw dropped and sight locked onto the limousine, soaking in what the finest example of luxury on four wheels looked like. This is what a Maybach is capable of doing, in a nutshell. It has been 10 years since that day, but the memory remains fresh. And I couldn’t have imagined saying this back then — I have the key to a Maybach. That took a moment to sink in. It’s the big daddy of automotive affluence. Behold the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600!

Mercedes-Benz is perpetually the first name that comes up whenever you think of luxury, and that name gets a whole new meaning when you add ‘Maybach’ to it. The GLS 600 has an unmistakable identity that can never go unnoticed. It is what differentiates the super-rich from the merely rich. It is quite an experience to be exquisitely enveloped in the lap of luxury, and how a sense of importance rubs off on oneself.

HISTORY CHANNEL

When I'm around old motorcycles, I often find myself wondering what it must've been like to be born in an earlier time. Wondering, mind you, not wishing. I wonder what it was like when mankind invented the motorcycle. I wouldn't want to get anywhere near the first motorcycle, the Daimler Reitwagen (the word means 'riding car', stupidly enough), made by German inventors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in 1885. To quote Melissa Holbrook Pierson, 'The first motorcycle looks like an instrument of torture.' And something that might cause an explosion uncomfortably close to one's nether regions. Right after it's shaken loose every healed bone in one's body.
