The Mercedes Benz THE ROCK is AWESOME!

On Monday we visited the Mercedes Benz production facility in Bremen.  We were told the complex has over 10,400 employees.  The first part of the tour we saw robots welding the body parts of the cars together.  The large building had very few people, so one had to wonder where all the employees worked.  Well, we found many of them working on the assembly line.  It was impressive to see the working conditions.  Mercedes makes great efforts to make sure its people do not become injured.  The assembly works change work stations every couple of hours, which helps them to be more interested in their work.
The highlight of our trip to Mercedes Benz was an awesome trip to THE ROCK!  We were given the chance to test drive the new GRK, a rugged four wheel drive vehicle.  There are many special features to this vehicle that allow you to drive on adverse off road conditions.  Check out these pictures!
