he must be "ze pride of das trailer park".

Parked near a nuclear power plant.

Hey mom, my car grew another foot!!:D :D

I hope to NEVER see anything like this again...

Yes, it's very, very disturbing. Sorry I even brought it up. I need to go wash my eyeballs out with soap. It's in Germany no less. I feel nauseous. I need to lie down.

Let me get this right:

A BADLY hacked up, beyond tacky, non-running 108 lowriding rustbucket with atrocious rims and trim.

Am I missing anything?

A bag to put over it.

Then I saw the rear shot ...Eeeuuww!
Think 'Pimp My Ride' could do any better?

Happy Motoring, Mark

For the love of Mike, part it out and crush it, please, I'm begging you Hans.

The question is could they do any WORSE? And the answer is no, I don't think that's possible.
If 2 sets of headlights and whatever the hell they did to the rear weren't tacky enough, they went and lowered it and put on ugly rims.
Indeed.

*sigh* you COULD say "At least that's a 108 that stayed on the road" but you know it's going to be bought for parts and crushed in that condition.

How about those swanky running lights on the front fenders? Tasteful indeed. Think I'll try that on mine! Off to the junk yard!

I don't think 'Pimp My Ride' would have done it this bad.
At least the lowered springs and ugly rims would be easy enough to put back to original, but what was done to the front and rear counts as permanent damage!

Happy Motoring, Mark

obviously someone had an idea and did it all before a caring friend had a chance to stop him.

love that steering wheel though. had a white one on my 62 finney. always felt cool driving that one.

had a white one on my 51 caddy hearse too. about the same diameter as the benz i think. and it had manual steering too. try parallel parking a 6000# caddy hearse with manual steering and modern radial tires some time. it helps to have big arms and shoulders. just never try to turn it while not moving. (oh you can try if you like, jsut dont expect much in the way of results).

but it steered so sweetly on the highway! tracked better than a benz.... the only car i ever drove that did.

Yuck,

I got the impression of a tarantula with like 4 more eyes than it should have!

Alcohol and car mods don't mix
 

I think the Germans ought to bring back the death penalty before this type of thing happens again.:rocketwho
