W123 picture: who can write the best caption?

Archeologists in the year 3000 unearth an ancient automobile museum near the ruins of Stuttgart, Germany. Only one vehicle survived.

Many of you have more wit than I.

Robot archaeologists find rare non-hover craft in ruins

A team of robotic archaeologists have found the remains of a rare non-hover craft while exploring the remains of Stuttgart, which was destroyed by rioters in 2009 after a Kraftwerk concert went terribly wrong. After careful research, the non-hover craft was determined to be a "Mercedez", presumably named after a late 20th century porn star. This "W123" variant is presumed to be one of the few "Mercedez" vehicles still remaining and will be fully restored, and placed into the "Dr. Z museum for non-hover craft" in New Quantum Stuttgart.
