Thanks for the translation, but it was still painful to read

That's why most owners dump these cars after the warranty expires.

Now let's all chant: "A mercedes is still a mercedes"

ok, i agree, the translations aren't the easiest to read (rather painful)

is it that the owner was so pissed after all the money he spent to repair these two cars, he put them up like that with all the invoices so everyone can see how bad mercedes are?

The part I find hilarious is how he has "set" them in stone and iron. LOL

Owner must be very rich and very pissed to do this.
