As a background to this story, this Benz repair shop sits right under the final approach path to Sea-Tac International Airport (immediately south of Seattle). Since the residents can't hope to change the flight path of all the jets and turboprops that land right over them, they feel like taking out a shop with a bunch of old Mercedeses will be the next best thing for "beautifying" their neighborhood.
However, this is one of the cheapest neighborhoods in Seattle, with a fairly high crime rate. I feel like these people are misguided in their quest against Benz Friendz and should focus on a more important issue.
