What can I really say here, these\"\"\u00a0museums were extraordinary. I\u2019ve visited the Porsche museum before so it wasn\u2019t completely new, but it\u2019s always a joy to walk through and explore the history of these automakers. During my last visit, I went through the museum in detail, which took about 4 hours I believe. Porsche is my favorite automaker so I took my sweet time. This trip, we only had 2 hours at the museum so I rushed through to find a few cars that weren\u2019t on display last time. During my last visit, I remember reaching the end and turning the corner to finally meet the 918 in person; it was one hell of a moment I nearly cried (yes I get emotional towards cars leave me alone). <\/span><\/p>\n

This time the 959 took the holy grail; this vehicle\u00a0is very important in automotive history so it was a pleasure to see it again. The 959, Carrera GT, and the 918 were all perched in the same area at the end of the walkthrough; it was quite the view.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mercedes museum was significantly larger than Porsche. Every piece of Mercedes history was here it was insane when you consider how much Mercedes has invested in. Literally any and every vehicle type, Mercedes has played a part in. We only had 2 hours here as well but given its size, we knew we had to pick and choose areas; you definitely need a full day to explore the entire museum.<\/p>\n

As we were going up the elevator, I spotted a\u00a0unique silver and green formula car in the distance, a silver arrow as they were nicknamed; I freaked, to say the least. I\u2019m a Formula 1 fan, I\u2019ve been to a race but I had never been given the chance to explore a Formula car the way you could at the museum. Naturally then, the motorsport section was my target. With our limited time, I rushed through most of the sections stopping briefly only at those I found most interesting. Then, I finally reached it; it was Nico Roseburg\u2019s W07 from 2016 when he won the championship. What a machine, I was mesmerized, I tried to explore as much of it as I could without getting yelled \"\"at. I found myself trying to walk away to explore other areas only to turn back and keep studying the damn thing, just couldn\u2019t get enough of it. It was love, at first sight, you could say.\"\"<\/p>\n
