My friend is a Mercedes Abuser!!

I just met up with this freind I knew in high school the other day. His dad is a Benz lover and had in the past 12 yrs a 380SE, 560SEC and a 400SE. The mother now drives a 94 C220 and my freind has some old Oldsmobile his dad bought him. Unfortunately the parents are getting split up. My freind is basically spoiled to hell......the dad makes alot of money and gave him $1000 twice which was gone in a matter of a day or two. He complained and said it wasnt enough. He didnt appreciate the Oldsmobile he got and accused the father of hating his son which is why he gave him that car. I got mad at my freind for being that way but he didnt listen......so he takes the mothers 220.

We went out one night......I didnt know the way he drives cause I didnt see him for awhile but he mostly drives this 220. The suspension he screwed all up.....it shakes over 100km/h very badly and makes a squeeking noise outside. The car is driven to the super maximum....engine is revved at every stoplight to the max rpm and holds the gas and pops it in D but luckily the tranny clutch doesnt engage so it doesnt do nothing. At this point everyone in the car is laughing besides me and he gets mad at the car and tears it down the street reaching in the deep redline through all the shifts. The check engine is constantly on. The parents dont bother even fixing the car anymore because of what he does but I dont think they know that he is driving it like this.

When he does a turn...basically the car is on 2 wheels. The car has a very rough idle and doesnt sound too good. I kept quiet and sortive wanted to see how a Mercedes can handle this abuse. Does quite well! Its sad to see though.....the car is gone to hell.
