Man that guy was super annoying, and why were they recording it instead of calling the fire department to begin with?

Besides that, I'm curious what could have caused this.

I girl has bigger ***** than he does. Im not sure I wouldn't be doing backflips because I would be so happy.

angeloxnet

who cares if he is annoying, its pretty sad. put yourself in his shoes, he was most likely in shock and wasn't able to gather himself, consider his car is on fire and blowing up

angeloxnet

There was a recall on some cars regarding fuel delivery. its possible this was an example of what could happen.

netboy

what a freaking LOSER !
doesnt he have car insurance?

Matts2015c300

I wish mine would catch fire

It's only a freakin car as long as nobody is hurt, you're fine. Stop screaming and be collective during an emergency. Scary that our car could just burned up and catch on fire.

Is it just me or did that guy scream like a woman?

"Oh my Goddddddd" ....lol
Looks and kinda sounds like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory.

We'll probably never know what caused the fire. It could have been a defect in the car, a flammable material left by the dealer during prep, or even the driver smoking and dropping a lit cigarette. Luckily, no one was hurt.

Oh dear, smacks of a privileged child insulated from reality unable to deal with life.

Or it's just a viral video.

He didn't follow the proper break-in period suggestions....

Not a pretty picture. This just might be the topper for "what malfunctions have you had with your W205?"

"The VIN for Lopes' car wasn't included in the recall database, however."
from the article above, interesting.

Incredible that the only genuine wood on the entire car was about the only thing that didn't go up in the blaze.
I wonder if he had the lithium-ion starter battery option.

Not trying to judge that dude on his panic attack, but I wouldn't have released that video with audio.

WhoIsThat

Weird, right? I think the dude himself released the video. I would have removed the audio before doing so if I were him.

The guy has only had this car for a few days but it had 15000 miles on it. He bought a loaner.

Flame On: This Mercedes-Benz C300 Has a Burning Case of Quit



Although the Mercedes-Benz C300 isn't a large car, it can hold quite a lot.

Why is he or she or shim screaming!! Unless they started the fire, this is a civil suit with a BIG FAT payout from MB advantage on the back of veedub suit. They should be a happy happy, jumping for joy instead of screaming lunatic. Giving his namesake a bad rap.

toobrokeforC63

That dude would not last long in a walking dead type scenario. I can understand his frustration though.

Maritime

Now that's funny.

No wonder Putin laughs off NATO.

WhoIsThat

I would think most people wouldn't have that reaction but then everyone reacts differently, so who knows. It's one thing to speculate and it's another to actually be in that situation.

In the couple of times I have had close calls in life, I always felt quite content and at peaceful afterwards, along the line of, "Wow, I just dodged a bullet. How fortunate!"

That doesn't seem to be the dude's reaction, but again, everyone is different.

Mikey53

I'm not sure what NATO has to do with anything since the military member was not the car owner who was doing all the screaming. The service man stopped to render aid, which is something most of the folks driving by couldn't be bothered with apparently.

Maritime

If that guy is typical of our military, and thus the primary NATO country, I'd laugh too. It has nothing to do with the car.

The car is its own circus.

Mikey53

Let me type slower so you can understand.....the military member was not the screaming owner of the vehicle. He stopped to render assistance.
