The Tuscaloosa News reports (http://bit.ly/18Thpic ) the Mercedes-Benz Club of America chose Alabama for its StarTech 2013 event, which brings together experts in Mercedes restoration, maintenance and performance for seminars and workshops. The four-day event began this weekend and runs through Tuesday.

On Monday and Tuesday, the group will visit the Mercedes plant in Vance, the only producer of the automaker's ML-Class and GL-Class vehicles for the North American market. The group will tour the plant and take part in seminars at the plant's training center.
