That's the price you pay for being the 1st one on the block to have the car no one else has yet.

Like many MB owners, I bet they couldn't figure out one of the gadgets, and they just found it easier to pull over rather than have the car eat them alive :P

Not sure why you would need a flatbed for a flat tire, also none of the tires looked flat. Just curious if it belonged to any forum members.

When I got a flat in my C32, I needed a flatbed. Mostly because I didn't have a spare.
