Pics of the wrecked SLS's
Hey everyone, sorry I'm late with pics, took a short vacation...Also sorry the last thread got locked and I hope this doesn't break any rules, just want to share the pics. Seems Mercedes is still up in the air in deciding what to do with the vehicles. Here are pics of two of them and hope resolved any doubt about my story.
Recap
1. Thread started sharing story of wrecked SLSs
2. Most appreciate the story
3. One guy goes apeshiat demanding pics b/c he doesn't believe it
4. Most everyone is calm except him
5. OP returns states will try to get pics
6. Guy continues to go apeshiat that pics are not provided and story is bogus, insults anyone in his way
7. Insults hurled back
8. Thread closed
9. Pics provided in new thread, cold dish served as was stated in previous thread
The intent was not to own anyone at all. I've been a member here for years and thought people would be interested.
Edit-I took the pics down, I think we saw what we needed to see...Thanks everyone.

But apparently it can buy an SLS class, heyoooo
I had a feeling you weren't grabbing for attention and that guy was being a douchebag (his writing style demonstrated that point all by itself). Both sad and glad to see this is real.

Why would someone try to get attention by posting about something they saw? It would make more sense for someone to lie about owning X car with Y mods if you wanted attention.

Sad to see the car smashed - it happens. I'm sure our class-less fellow will apologize...
Totally uncalled for behavior - I'm still shaking my head with that display....glad to see he's banned. I'm going to MB and get a picture of me sitting in an SLS and say its mine, that's proof enough right?
Why become a member of our forum and contribute to complete disharmony - I've been on here for years and nimrod is on for two minutes to contribute what exactly?

That red SLS pic was not from an MB dealer. Its not class to talk about someone who has been banned

I used to own a 1967 Mini Cooper and in a past life and I flew hueys for the army - I could care less if you believe me or not, usually people do not have a reason to lie.

Today I would venture a guess that over 90% of people carry a camera with then at all times. Especially here in the USA. So when someone says they saw something you are expecting them to have taken a pic. But TBH I have seen some epic stuff and I never remember to break out my phone and snap a pic.

I guess I'm a 'ten percenter' that doesn't - even though my phone has one...Someone tells me they have seen something or other I have no reason to fly off the handle and imply they have lied about it because they did not provide a pic of it...that is simply

I read the whole thread that is now closed and there is no reason to call BS. We all see crazy stuff every day. No need for name calling, and stupid fights. Its just not worth it. I'm happy you restarted the thread. Its like working with a clean sheet of paper

Don't tempt me I can write whatever I want on that 'clean' slate and a picture of whom it belongs to as well - the internet it's a wonderful thing and so many websites on which to plaster my face on to... and say I'm this, or that I like that....you figure it out.

Not trying to tempt
Just a symbolic message to show the hating is gone.
