Some of you might of heard me ask this already but can someone post like a step by step direction thing on how to post pics and how to have a picture on the left hand side under your name. Also i would like to point out that i do not own the 2002 Mercedes-Benz ML 320, my dad does. I dont have a drivers license yet. The posts i have posted where me doing them to help my dad and to get more information on the ML. (my friends call me a car freak, espically a Mercedes Benz car freak) [:D]I guess thats good! hehehe I have another question before i forget. This is for my term paper for English. Im doing the history of Mercedes-Benz. (has to be 3 to 5 pages long and i thought the ML was not gonna fit 3 to 5 pages so im doing the history) Well the question is..... Did Mercedes buy Diamler-Chrysler or did Diamler buy MErcedes? Like before thanks for the quick response and the info! [:)]

I believe you can post a pic only on replies to posts. To Post A pic on the left: Go Profile/Preferences (see above, right) and follow the instructions. I haven't done a pic since the site was redesigned a month, or so ago. But I believe you can post only when replying to a post. What you do it to check the Attach a file after posting box below and then attach your pic. if you have multiple pics to post, go to your click on your name, that'll take you to your profile area, copy all the pics you want, then include them in your post by using the Image command above - see the line of text just above this text input pane!!! Repeat this for all every image you'd like to include in your post. Voils, ces't fini!!!

Someone please, clarify me on the Attach a file after posting box below, thanks.

Darkreaper22, you are talking about two mergers with may years in between (if I understand your question properly), in any case, you need to get your brands straight:
I'll start in reverse order:

did Diamler buy MErcedes?

It's Daimler, since you're writing a paper, make sure you write the name correctly to not lose credit and credibility (I bet by now, you hate me for sounding like your father...)

Daimler could not have bought Mercedes, Daimler was Mercedes, or rather Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschat (DMG) owned the Mercedes brand and logo. Gottlieb Daimler built cars, and the Mercedes brand name came to exist after a customer (who was also a dealer of Daimler's creations, and who liked to race cars) Emil Jellinek, raced Dailer's cars, which he named Mercedes after the name of his (Jellinek's) daughter. The three pointed star belongs to Mercedes, a brand and log registered by Daimler and descendants.

Carl Benz built the the Victoria, a motorized tricycle, in 1983. Daimler closely followed with the first production car, the Daimler Velo in 1894, he was very good at designing engines, which he sold to other car makers who who use his engines in their own cars.

Benz' logo was the laurels, for excellence.

DMG MERGED with Benz (the two men had a profound dislike for each other) on June 28, 1926. Worthy of note, the two companies had entered into an agreement already in 1924, for economic reasons, a previous merger attempt had failed in 1919

When the companies merged, so did the two logos, The Mercede Start was enclosed by Benz' laurels.

Did Mercedes buy Diamler-Chrysler?

Again, get the names straight. Daimler-Benz owned the Mercedes-Benz, and the merger with Chrysler created the new name, Daimler-Chrysler, which owns the Mercedes-Benz brand, and the Chrysler brand.
You should rather view this as a take over of Chrysler by Daimler-Benz. There is pending litigations concerning this, brought forth by Kirk Kerkorian a billionaire who owns a bunch of sticks and seeks 2 billion dollars in reperation because of the effect of what he contends was a take-over and not a merger on his investments. Kerkorian also owns well known companies like MGM...

Better do a bunch of research before you write your paper to get indisputable facts...

What would i do without you guys! [:D] Thanks for straighteing out the info. Its all right your not starting to sound like my father yet. hehe I wouldnt think my teacher would notice the difference in what i was saying becasue where i live there isnt that much Mercedes-Benz's parked here. A few Bimmers and that from out of town coming here but i believe we are the only ones here with a MB! [:D]Thats kind of ashame but if you think about it, we have bragging rights. We live where American made Chevy's and Fords populate most of the culture of cars.[V] LOL I think she would go through and check grammar and spelling mistakes. Well she hasnt said like the criteria yet but she said to start thinking of ideas to generate for our term paper. Thanks again! [:)]
