After the first 3 minutes, I just couldn't watch anymore.

Hey, that guy works at my local MB dealership...I knew that ski mask looked familiar!

Seriously, the guy is a sicko - it made me queezy to watch it too

Too bad. That was a decent looking car.

Hopefully somebody finds out who this idiot is and beats the sh_t out of him. I couldn't even figure out the point, it wasn't even funny. Even if it was a car ready to go to the crusher, it wouldn't have been funny.

I went to their website. It appears that this is a protest by some disgruntled dealership techs who feel the flat rate time they are paid to do work on MB's is inadequate so this is their way of showing the way they could do various jobs in the time allocated for them...so that's their point...for what it is worth.

Mad W123 owners want you to send that video to the general manager of that dealer.

Sooner or later every car falls apart, ours does it later!

Its just a car people. I wouldn't ever dream of doing it myself but its just a mass produced chunk of steel. Some of you act like its your own children in those videos.

Now if it was a Duesenberg or a 540K, then we have a problem.

I agree it is just a car but it is a horrible waste. That car could be used to improve other people's working cars. Better to give it away for parts then just ruin it for a joke (a not humorous one at that).

But it is amazing that it took 3 blows of that hammer
to break the window.
I know that those windows are tinted and might
have something to do with it.

i mean seriously if that was a good looking blue dash i could've used that. i have the blue interior those seats looked pretty damn good the whole body looked superb from what i could see well until.... but thats ridiculous do that with a newer car not a classic like ours.

i agree totally. it is just a car, but they dont make these cars anymore, and when theyre gone theyre gone. if he didnt want it he could have at least parted it out.

Ha thats some pretty good satire! Interesting form of protest.


It also is funny because customers can be cheap and not want to pay. Love the "flat rate valve adjustment", $19.99 special yeah!
