Radio talks about $70K MB surviving drop from parking garage
I'm looking for pics of the story, apparently a valet parker put car in reverse accidentally, and sent car through window and it dropped on the roof of an adjacent building... driver had minor bruises.

And that, is why I would never ever let a valet touch my car.

I never ever ever let a valet touch any of my cars, I have read multiple bad stories about them. Most people don't realise that when you hand over your keys your insurance does not cover your car any more its their insurance (if they have it).

A GL450? Seems suspicious that the car could accelerate that quickly to break and fall off the floor from a parked space. I could see it happening if he had it revved up and dropped it into gear......idiot.

Hat's off to the construction workers that built that roof.

I guess he wasnt used to the electonic shifter on the column. Isnt it non-intuitive?? he problably thought he was putting it in drive and put it in reverse and floored it, and the sudden movement backwards only made his foot hit the throttle even more.
