Default MBZ are really built to protect it's occupants

A friend/ex-coworker did this to his E350. It was a combination of alcohol and speed on a narrow road resulted in this little mishap. THANK GOD no one was killed...a couple of the occupants sustained some non-life threatening injuries but were glad that they were able to "walk" away from this accident. I guess I'll let the pictures speak for themselves as words truly escapes me.

I've seen FAR worse. Has anyone seen the Audi S6 that was practically disintegrated in Europe?

Um, ok? We're talking about his buddy's wrecked benz and it's safety I don't think he was running a contest when he slammed his car.
