Plan B Forum

A woman taking out a brand new Mercedes for a test drive took just six seconds to crash it into several cars and flip it on its side all while still in the dealership's car park.

What, no 'women drivers!' comments?!?!?

Chickens!

Nah she was just demonstrating her qualifications to drive a Mercedes.

I was waiting for someone else.

Regardless of her gender, I don't think she's qualified to drive a Benz.

One of my friends drives a 2002 Mercedes SL600. It has a 389 HP V-12. She received an invitation from the local dealer when the 2016 models debuted last fall. Champagne was to be served, so she went to the party. Before the party started, test drives were offered. Hey, why not. The new SL400 has a V6. Yes A V6. After 12 cylinders for the last several years, a V6 was expected to be a let down. It was NOT. It has 329 HP in a lighter, more agile, car. Her comment to the salesman was that it was a nice car, but was it REALLY worth $80,000 more with her trade in?

In her defense, she didn't hit anything

A guy would have flipped it in 3 seconds.
And would have made more money doing it.

Just need the correct V6...my wife's car put 763HP down with just a little V6!

I would love to read the rest of the story.

IIRC Joe, that was caused by a flood.

It is amazing how little flowing water it takes to move a car. 12" will do it if it's moving fast enough. 6" can ruin an engine when oncoming traffic creates a "bow wave", or an unsuspecting idiot encounters a pair of "gutter dips" at an intersecting street. Many cars have an engine air intake that is less than a foot from the pavement. I have part of a connecting rod on my desk from a Ford Taurus that sucked water. It doesn't compress well at all.
