All he was doing was trying to pry the fender out so he could open the drivers door. He really couldn't hurt anything as the fender and door were both junk. We do it all the time to allow people easier access to their cars until the parts come in.

Yeah, I know, but it's on a Maybach, so it's funny...

Something tells me he won't have a terribly difficult time paying for the repairs.

I would not even do that to my $3000 300CD; does that mean I'm a really poor bastard...

I couldn't watch this video, the first time, I had to stop. Geez, I guess a Demolition Derby Car, would bother me too. Just something about it...

Doesn't that guy own a racing team or something as well? If so, he's probably used to seeing his half-million-dollar cars turned to junk with one bad maneuver...and probably been involved in some way with automotive field surgery too.

The Maybach is probably just an entry in his ledger...wish I could get to the priority level it takes to not give a crap about material things, no matter how dear...

I thought it was funny. No harm done anyway, since the car is presumably going to be professionally repaired. Nice to see that type of Mr fix-it attitude from a Maybach owner.
