What the hell happened to this!?

[Ari]

Saw this in the classifieds, still trying to figure how they did it!

The only thing I can think is that they four wheel drifted it into a high kerb, but you'd have thought hitting it thta hard would have flipped the car and the roof would be stove in.

They were having a "conversation" about a CONVERSION perhaps ?

Owner of Recently 'stanced' Merc finds the limitations to his handling caused by his silly suspension mods?

Or maybe it was just a big slide into a solid kerb in the snow.

Sideways with considerable force into a curb?
Edit: should have put "OP, i think youre right"

Nothing....it's 'Stanced'

[anonymous-user]

You be amazed how little speed is actually required to do that to a modern car. The suspension is now so still laterally, and the tyres such low profile, that 5-10mph sideways will do that. Other than that, the lampost probably stopped it rolling however (look at the telltail vertical bent behind the front wheel ;-)

[Checkmate]

A friend did something almost exactly the same to his dad's sl500. Overdid the sideways out of a bend, overcorrected, then smashed up the kerb on the other side of the road. Wrote the poor thing off. Cue one awkward phone call.

I can't work that one out either.

I think the Merc slid into a kerb, there are a few videos of people doing it on youtube and you don't need to be going that fast to push the wheels under the car:
