MercedesShop loses domain, now known as "peachparts".
Too late for April fools. I am not making this up.

Those chuckleheads over at MercedesShop lost their domain to Mercedes. See: http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/search/case.jsp?case_id=14596. From now on they'll be known as "peachparts.com".

Wow. All the good names really are taken.

MercedesShop Changing Domain Name
MercedesShop will be changing its domain name to peachparts.com

This change is the result of a WIPO UDRP domain name dispute between Daimler AG and MercedesShop. The dispute is now resolved and we are changing our name.

We will setup 301 redirects so that anyone trying to access a web page or email address at mercedesshop will automatically be redirected to peachparts. These redirects will not be in place forever so it's important that any bookmarks you might have be updated once the change is made.

The new domain, peachparts.com, will not be active until the change has been made.
