DAYUM! Torched S500 on a flatbed........

Dude. Silver S500 with chrome 20' wheels on a flatbed passed me heading south on I-45 to Houston this afternoon. The entire car was torched; no interior, no glass, etc. The driver's side was FRIED. To top that off someone keyed the trunk, I think. I took pictures as it went past. I had a short moment of silence for it, and then thought......maybe I could fix it? Then I thought why the f_ck would anyone buy that thing? The gold BMW 740iL behind it was ABSOLUTELY t-boned, smashed on the other side as well and strangely enough, not a scratch on it anywhere else......

Hope no one buys a toasty smelling silver S500 anytime soon!

Nice drop.

It's just a W220, nothing special.
