I've seen blingmobiles that have looked better then this. I honestly think we may have a new contender for the worst Mercedes ever.

It's a BABE car!!!!! A little respect, please

Big Apple to Big Easy - buy a cheapo clunker (2008 limit was $250, upped it to $500 for 2009) and join a caravan of certifiable lunatics on a road trip from New York to New Orleans.

Jingle Benz was one of many decorated entrants. Last year, Darling Wife and I helped prep Barb & Louis' entrant.

I proudly present The Thunder Fox:

We haven't been able to make the run ourselves, but it is most definitely on the calendar for '10.

Thankfully the engine is still original...with the exception of some of the worst wireing that I have ever seen anywhere.

Here's another WTF- they called it "Mercedes-Penz" and it has markers and pens glued all over it.

So what's the idea of the passenger front seat being reversed? Are they trying to do a Benz version of the famous 2CV where two front wheel driver power trains were installed on front frames and the two front frames welded together? Why do the seats like that??

PLUS: Those rims really are bad. Really bad...

whaddaya think? 20 grand that could have been BETTER used to save a few cars from the crusher?
