The biggest disappointment in his article was neglecting to mention the screenplay that emerged out of this thread.

Yeah....he wants Cliff Notes. But there is absolutely no way that this thread can really be appreciated without spending a few hours reading through the entire thing to see how it evolved. It is likely one of the saddest, stupidest, and funniest threads on the internet....all wrapped under a single heading. A quick synopsis would ruin it.

Hey All,

I have the last of my W221 parts for sale.

Which relics are you interested in? Priced to sell(like the car itself).

All parts save for the fridge is from the original car. Name your price! Need to buy that next 'Cedes!

Fridge comes with new Metal X-Frame(not pictured) to secure the fridge and the wiring harness to connect it.

If you ship all of that stuff to me for free, I'll be sure to leave it all out by the curb so you don't have to pay for garbage removal. There's also a guy who comes by in his ratty old pick-up truck looking for metal scrap the night before garbage pick up. I'm fairly certain he'd take that mini fridge.

I bet there are junkified metal scrappers in your neighborhood. Aswell as drug pushers on every corner. If I did ship these items to you, they would rust from all the salt in the air.


Unless I get my money back for the fridge I won't let it go. It's going into my 2013 W221 after I close on my fancy four bedroom home in a lux area next month.

Figured Id put the parts on here before I put them on craigy and eBay. Going to get my wife a 2014/2015 CLA45 AMG after we get settled at our new house.


In the meantime, I get my 'Cedes fix by driving my Dads 2015 sprinter on Sundays when I play a plumber due to the desperate need currently in my area.

Probably. Any movie based on this thread....unless they were basing it solely on the screen play that evolved, would likely mean the end of any actor's career.

They could name it "Idiocracy, part 1", the precursor to the movie from 2005.
