Default Another use of S class -- cut down trees

Stupid driving checked, but I guess this shows just how strong and heavy the S class is. Front of the car is probably gone, but damn to see the driver and passenger walked away like that

Way to many cars on the road have way more power then the drivers can handle, modern technology protects us and makes us feel like professional drivers, so with these idiot proof cars you have drivers who really don't know how to drive who are along for the ride, but push the car harder then they can handle if it ever lost control, and here is an example of that happening, just drive by most body shops and tons of cars that should not even be crashed are getting repaired

I would have assumed that the TCS would have stopped them before they went that sideways. My GS and LS the TCS goes off if you sneeze in the car
