Yes, sad day indeed. I work there as a sales consultant, and saw it all go down from my desk.

At least the hood looks in good shape. At least he did not have it titled yet. That is my worst fear... is that the knuckle draggers at the dealer takes a dive with my car.

Every time I get in one of my cars after it has been serviced, the seat is as far back and as low as the seat will allow. Once I had a cup of coffee in my hand and went to get in. Let's just say...it was ugly.

That's so true. Hm, stay away from 2007 Black S600's... I'm sure the insurance company got on the phone and said -- "It's a Benz? ... Oh no! ... What? An S-Class?? Oh jesus! ... WHAT?! A S600?!!?"
