The Mercedes-Benz Championship golf tournament starts on tomorrow and you can bet your Benz dealers will be watching with great interest.

This year’s Mercedes-Benz Championship will seem oddly familiar to fans who watched last year’s tournament. It is going to feature 33 golfers and six of them were in the same event last year at the familiar Plantation Course in Kapalua, Hawaii. The defending champion for this tournament is Daniel Chopra. Tiger Woods will not be in attendance this year because he has an injury that is still healing.

The Plantation Course in Kapalua has more than 7,400 yards of greens. It is also the only course this season with a par 73. Thirteen of the players on this year’s roster have never played this course, either.

If you can’t enjoy the 2009 Mercedes-Benz Championship in person in beautiful Hawaii, why not visit your Lawrenceville, NJ Mercedes-Benz dealer and get a comfortable and luxurious car? You may not get to experience the weather of Hawaii here in New Jersey, but you can still appreciate the comfort and luxury that only Mercedes-Benz can offer. After you get your Benz, check out the Golf Channel this week for coverage of this year’s $5.6 million Mercedes-Benz Championship.

Your Mercedes dealers want to bring your attention to a recent article about long commutes and good marriages. Nobody likes a long commute, but now there’s an even bigger reason to hate them. Long commutes can have a negative effect on your marriage.

One of the major reasons that a long commute can be detrimental to a marriage is because it can be frustrating for the person caught in the traffic. When they get home, they bring that frustration with them. This can create tense situations and more arguments within a married couple. Commuters also get tired easily. As weird as it sounds, sitting in your car for an hour or more can be draining on your energy. That can negatively affect a relationship, too.

In addition to these two reasons, long commutes also mean less time for connecting and spending time with each other. Long commutes take a parent (or both parents, depending on the situation) away from the kids for longer periods of time. This can chip away at the relationship and make it more difficult to form a bond that is necessary for healthy development.

If you simply cannot avoid long commutes, you might as well spend your time in comfort with a new vehicle from your Lawrenceville, NJ Mercedes-Benz dealer. With the luxury included with a Mercedes-Benz, you won’t be as frustrated when you’re sitting in traffic. It may even be good for your marriage!

Now that a new year has started, you may have resolved to be a better driver. However, there are several deadly mistakes that drivers make behind the wheel and you may not even know you are committing these “driving sins.” Your Mercedes dealers want everybody to have a safe year, so here are some of those driving mistakes so you can be more conscious of them and adjust your habits as necessary.

1. Aggressive Driving – Have you ever sped up to tailgate a person who has cut your off? Or slowed down to give a tailgater “the message”? If so, you’ve been an aggressive driver. Each year, accidents caused by aggressive driving costs us about $40 billion, so just calm down.
2. Running a Red Light – Just because you speed up to get in the intersection before the light turns red doesn’t mean it’s safe. Drivers who do this cause about 800 crash-related deaths each year and more than 200,000 accidents annually.
3. Drowsy Driving – You might not think you’re tired, but if you’ve been up for more than 20 hours, you are more likely to cause an accident. In fact, studies show that you have the same reaction time as a person with a .08 blood alcohol level if you drive while drowsy.

Now that you know some bad habits you may have fallen into, you can work on changing them. Then you can reward yourself with a new or certified used car from your Princeton, NJ Mercedes-Benz dealer!
