Talking Unique MB 123 spotted

At one of the schools where I teach, there is a big mural on one of the hallway walls that I thought you might enjoy:



This is at a middle school, by the way. Looks kind of like a 240d, I wonder if the kid's dad had one? It better watch out for that tiger up ahead It also kind of looks like the couple right next to it have parked their MB in order to get out and observe all this wildlife smack dab in the middle of the city....
