LIVE: What's The FIRST Thing YOU Think When You See This?

The story goes a little something like this.

After getting off an international flight, I picked up my bag -- thank God it was there -- and made my way to my wheels. But I noticed something a bit off putting in the parking lot.

Right before I got to my ride, I noticed a late model Mercedes-Benz S-Class that looked like it bit off a bit more than it could chew. As seen in the cover photo, the front valence looks like its eating the sidewalk.

That said, I had to take a snap and see what YOU think.

A simple mistake?

Are they a poor driver?

What say you, Spies?

From the relation of the front bumper compared to the others in the row, it appears the driver drove OVER the wheel stop berm.

Probably high centered the car. Either way it is going to be a mess to get it back over again.

doesn't look like there was a wheel stop berm or block (usually the case these days). but, it's clear the driver was lucky in this case - as the car height was tall enough to clear the raised walkway. i've need lots of cracked lower front trim from this very same type of parking event. the driver doesn't really know (or pay attention) to the car's length & height in relation to his own seating position.

Meaning - sure we can't see it while driving - but a good driver is mindful of his vehicle's actual dimensions.

Likewise, I hate to see people who park over the lines in an open parking lot - those who get there 1st & park such that either their front or rear hangs over the lines.

This is so frequently here in Florida and I always check to stop my car far enought from this to avoid damage of the bumper, last time my ca was stuck like this I have to put the two umbrellas that I have in the car in the area of friction to avoid damage of the bumper pain and everything was ok, there is not people around to help me raise the car with the from fender lol. So now I teak extra care when I parking or use the reflexion of the cars beside if they are shine enough lol...

What a waist of expense! Definately do not trust parallel driving instinct, which is a must for short drivers....Male or Female.

I saw the exact situation when I exited my local pharmacy. The young people in the car were laughing hysterically as the loud scraping noise of the MB's lower valence was being abraded and cracked off.

So it comes down to people just not caring because many of the public are LAME BRAINS.
