  • Today I show you guys the new rebuild car project Mercedes S550 I just picked up from Copart! This is a 2015 Mercedes S550 I got delivered to my door for about $28K. The repairs don't look too extensive, really - looks worse than it is.

    Fk the haters. I also (finally) got an S class (also used) and some people insinuate it's an ego thing. I just go, "I guess you're right. I can't force myself to drive a crappy car"! BOOM! Shut their business! You don't need THEIR permission. Do what you like. Drive what you like. It's not your problem THEY have lower standards.
    "The best. Or nothing". Mercedes.
    Good luck. You're a good man with so much talent and blessed with a beautiful and awesome wife. (We actually like when she shows up! You lucky bastid)!

    Seems like one of the best run/drive vehicles I've ever seen come out of a Copart transaction. I wouldn't say it's an image thing but you like luxury (dude, footwell lighting? That's premium), there's nothing wrong with that, who wouldn't get one assuming they could deal with the repairs.

Apparently they give the winner 7 days to respond to them and after confirming that they are eligible, they have another 3 days to get all the papers signed. So it could take 10 days from the time they draw a winners name. 😮‍💨 And unfortunately I haven't received the email about winning yet...... hahaha.
