Default Mercedes-Benz E-Class… Hanging Out At Moscow Airport...

We have no clue whatsoever to as what the advertisement says, but if anything else, a Mercedes-Benz E-Class hanging above our head would definitely grab our attention if we ever happened to visit the Moscow airport. . . . . .

A full size Mercedes car is being nailed to the ceilings in one of Moscow airports now. It attracts sights from the people coming through the airport’s lobby and always question arises if it’s safe to walk right under in - or it might occasionally fell on your head? Well, some say that this is not real Mercedes but is made of plastic instead, but if it so then this should be a very precise copy, because all the smallest details, like brake discs etc are perfectly visible.

I thought it was impressive that an F1 car could drive upside down at 100mph... but they got nothin on this

The article says something like "some says... it's plastic..." but the details make that doubtful like the brakes. So I guess it is real.

it cant be real. notice that the windows are tinted so dark you cant see through them. it would be simple to make it out of plastic and to just keep real tires/brake discs etc. there is also probably nothing on the inside


can anyone read the banners?

I can't make out the first word on the banner, but the other two words are saying "private airplane"

Newport Beach millionaire Richard Moriarty has a thing for exotic art. How else to explain the fact that the Californian's gone and mounted a 1974 Lamborghini Countach onto a wall in his home?

No small operation, the Italian supercar was hoisted into place by a five-man crew using a 70-ton crane. The Countach's engine has been separated from Moriarty's new wall hanging, and now serves as a coffee table.

It even has a valid license plate, 'Faasst'
