Ghetto dropped S55 at Prudential Center

There has been a black S55 sitting in the lowest level of the north garage of the Prudential Center here in Boston for quite a while. It doesn't appear to have been moved by the owner. I can see the front suspension are raised (with a huge wheel gap), and the rear shocks had already lost the air and collapsed which made the rear wheels looked tugged in and the whole rear end slammed. I'll try to take pics next time I walk by it.

p.s. it has NY plates and Helms Brothers plate frame so I guess it's from the city.

That's a common problem I think with the air suspension. The owner definitely did not choose to have his car sit this way..

If it has Airmatic it not really an S55

Many airmatic W220 have that issue. Very common.

Would ABC do that? I'm pretty sure it's a 55. Has the right brakes, quad exhaust, badges, and interior......

Sure. When ABC fails, the car can lose height.

Could be, I swear that car had been there for months and no one has ever moved it. I'll let management know tomorrow about the car.

It Might be stolen and abandoned. Or it might just belong to an international student. A lot of my Middle Eastern friends went back to their home country and left their high end cars sitting abandoned in parking garages, it's sad when it's an AMG.
