Hello,

I just wanted to share this with you people need to stop treating treating these cars like s**t, I find it very disturbing why wont benz do anything about retarded people destroying there cars like this, if I remember correct don't benz have something against this? they should like do something people should at least sell there car for parts so it ends up in another benz at least instead of trashing them.

Why should MB do something? The cars aren't their property. As stupid as the owner may be, it's their property and they can do whatever they please with it.

Well, for everyone that gets destroyed, it makes that car just one car rarer.

You'll notice a lot of those videos are from europe, where people dont have anywhere near as much respect for their old Mercedes as people from the US do, particularly people on this forum. There were many more of them made over there, and a lot of the ones in those videos are probably rusted out beyond belief, have done 500k miles taxi duty, and are about to be scrapped.

It's a shame, but...I guess it means there'll be more cars in the junkyard for people to pick over

And the last three are just mb commercials. I like in the first ad how the crusher operator looks away when it's about to be crushed. Nice touch.

"Lifes too short to drive a boring car"

Yep. The video did have a nice message too as the car relived it's life and was reborn as a new Mercedes.

The first video I couldn't finish. How could anyone destroy a beautiful engine like that?

They didn't. The engine never gave up, they took a sledgehammer to it in frustration.

I ALWAYS tear up when i watch the reincarnation one.

Every car I have ever owned has had soul. From my 79 Cutlass, 84 Cutlass, 80 Ford van, many Dodge vans, Buick Roadmaster, and all of my Mercedes.

Something the Japenese cars lack IMHO.
