My last pic of my MERC before i sold it

dsc201knoc · 04-26-2009, 08:41 AM

This is more of a R.I.P. memorial post.

I sold my car last week because i could only ship one car back to the states, so obviously the BMW was going so the merc had to go.

So already the guy that bought the car drove it until the wheel fell off

abandoned it on the side of the road

and lost the keys

i wish i would have sold it to someone responsible.. it wasnt a great car but it was my G-Ride....

Here is the RIP Photo...bye bye little buddy

Didn't you get your car through BMW military sales, they have free shipping back home, and ship your other car with military?
