Something I wish I never see on any day....

This is the opposite of the thread I posted with the 3 Ferrari's parked together.

I saw this gem rolling down the street in all its professionally vandalized glory....poor car.

The air suspension probably went out. I gather from the rusted trunk that it's probably not very well-maintained.

I have seen 2-3 Mercedes where the air suspension has gone out only on one corner, so that corner is slammed and the rest of the car is propped up. Looks like a dog taking a piss.

I doubt there's an air suspension problem here. I followed the guy for a little bit and the way the car was riding, the springs had to have been purposely cut. I've seen the same suspension dynamics when the lowrider craze was going on. And not to stereotype but I will, the driver is your typical hood rat.

Technically doesn't your GT-R run dubs? And probably the RR Sport?

It's an old, beatup S-Class. What's the big deal? You find a similar car in almost every country. lol

Don't think that car has springs to cut, it's factory air. But maybe he got a lowering kit. Honestly that car looks like it's in really bad shape so it's more likely the air springs failed. Hood rat driver doesn't mean that the ride height is on purpose, you can buy one of those cars really cheap now and you get to drive a "Benz". As someone else said, the rust and terrible condition of the rest of the car makes it more likely the height is from neglect.

You had to be there to see the driver and witness how the car drives to understand why I'm saying this was on purpose.

[Garage guy] The air suspension is shot.
