Mercedes SL Stalled During Maryland Flash Flood

Some people have this Superman instinct when they get behind the wheel of their car, thinking that they ca do anything - part the highest curb, squeeze into the tightest spots, race the fastest cars and so on.
Getting back to the subject at hand, a flash flood hit the city of Ellicott in Maryland yesterday, and you might think that most people would have parked on the side of the road and waited for the water to subside.

Most did, but not the owner of this sleek Mercedes Benz SL. With the water clearly up to the bumper, he charges through and the engine immediately cut. Thankfully, some people were at hand, not to help, but to film the who thing and post it on Youtube... obviously.

The video is funny because a beat-up Toyota and a bunch of other cars manage to do what the Merc couldn’t.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
