Recent Vandalism

So, about a month ago, my car was vandalized in a major way, only on the passenger side, stock was black and i have over 50k miles on it, so the paint was coming to an end. Decided to repaint my whole car white..... what do u think?!?!

I think it looks nice, just I'd be worried about the car's resale value.

What happened to your car?

I missed that rule in the Mercedes shopping handbook, lol!

Looks good! and I noticed that you left the drip rail black. Should have left the roof black too.

Vandalized? Was the car keyed, sprayed, or?

Maybe he was thinking with his drip rail instead of his dip stick.

i should have kept the hood black, too bad those goons smashed my roof in, so i just decided to paint it all white up top, that little drip rail runs along the trim of the front starting from the windshield all the way to the trunk.....

Do the dealers believe that Mercedes Benz customers are stupid -- that we do not communicate with each other -- that we're gullible enough to pay FIVE TIMES what a task or item is worth?
