Hope you did not pay for this treatment and commend you on your mild temperament, I personally would be furious.
By any chance did you get caught with the owners teen age daughter, because the owner sure beat you down.
Good Luck with your restitution.
Did they leave you with a bucket of bolts to put this back together again.
Crazy!!!!!

I can tell you from seeing the car in person.....it was not as nice as it looks in the first place. A rat ate half the insulation in the engine compartment, the car had an engine fire at some point in its life, the rear wheels were on the front and the front wheels were on the rear but the car had the same size tires all around. I have had E55s and have seen many others, this one was not worth the time. The new wheels made the car look like a million bucks but it was far from it. Regardless, the shipping company hired by the owner is obviously horrible.

From the pics of when the car arrived at the shop and still on the flatbed, the front windows are rolled up. So sometime between OH and VA 9(probably down the street from the shop, the front windows got rolled up).

Side note: how do you like the tundra? 4.6 or 5.7? i'm looking for a 2014 Doublecab 5.7 SR5 or TRD package.

5.7......best PU I have ever had! You will not regret it. I have a double cab because you only get an inch in the rear seat area and you loose a ton in the bed.

At least the USA 2004-2006 E55 AMGs did not have the folding seat option available. (I miss my C43's folding seats, but my rifle case JUST barely fits between the rear doors if it sits on a couple boxes so the case is above the rear arm rests.)
