Not even with a quarter of the front end missing, a Benz keeps going! Very well built!

I saw this posted over on Liveleak.com several months ago. Not sure if it was posted here before or not. strange there is no smoke coming off the tire unless the frame or suspention is what it is sliding on.

I am pretty sure what ever bit of rubber had been on there is long gone.

Can you imagine how far they had to counter steer?
