Go sit in one, they threw away half the rear headroom as well. It's an appalling car. This coming from someone who owns another of Mercedes' atrocities the CLA...

I'd really rather not be seen getting into one of those.

-definitely a Chinese owner of that GLE based on the licence plate number. :lawl:

38K eh? :troll:

^ back story?

probably a random break down.

That tall, skinny guy (on the phone, with the grey hoodie, and black t-shirt) is the lot guy from Weissach.

Aventador randomly stopped dead in the lane. They tried jumping it with a tow truck but still didnt run. I overhead them saying they're gonna tow it straight back to the dealership. Btw both cars had demo plates on them

Probably in for servicing, went for a test drive and car broke down.

still not as funny as that mclaren spyder catching on fire while on test drive lol

Woot, local? Back story?

That's kind of weird how you know what the lot guy looks like unless you're his friend or something. I would've mistaken him for Justin Bieber otherwise

The guy beside him is also the main Lambo tech I believe.

A former salesperson at McLaren (who has some "notoriety" in the car industry...) went out on a test drive with a customer and there was a small fire in the engine bay due to a loose oil filler cap leaking a bit of oil onto the exhaust manifold. Luckily the car was fine and no one was hurt or anything....

on burrard...


i think it was last summer? I mean it was a hot day and it is a hot car.. guess it got too hot?

The license plates on it reads "Rose7", believe it's owned by an asian guy who dailies a white G63 with similar plates.

Is it the incident that involved (scandalous BMW dude) Michael Ho's yellow mclaren spyder? I think it was because he didn't screw the gas cap tight enough, then gasoline escaped and erupted in small flames from the heat of the rear end.

same ones perhaps? from craigslist:

never felt those PUR wheels from the start, even when SR was puting them on everything

PUR makes some fucking insane wheels, but rarely ever see the instagram stuff they post in person

^
i never trust those wheels, there over priced with crappy quality

there under adv.1 which use to be forge 360

i knew a connection that wanted to bring these in to china, but i found out about their quality shortly after and i stopped

speaking of adv.1, do u guys still have your fuck your wjeels shirts from there free promo

I thought in most cases(not all) it was just put on for the photo-shoots and then taken off again, more so for advertising.

I still have the shirt, I stopped wearing it once I found out they're just rebranded wheels with an inflated price tag

A lot of horror stories about adv.1 wheels on various car forums over the years. I also read most of these "new" wheel companies use the same manufacturers so the quality is fairly poor.

That been said I've seen HRE and other high end wheels posted on various forums that cracked and had quality control issues. My personal opinion is if you're buying a $200K+ car you should just stick with the OEM wheels. They didn't spend millions in R&D for you to go out and put some shitty as wheels and basically ruining the handling of the car.

+100000000

but you're talking about people who buy said $200k+ cars and do this...
