Nowadays, writing off a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL cannot be dismissed with a 'thank you'. With the 300SL shown here, it is 'Gullwing' in any case Verkeerd Afgelopen.
A while ago a mechanic went for a test drive after a major (er) overhaul. With a passenger. As an inexperienced driver you should of course not hit the gas deeply with such a thing and certainly not on a provincial road with all kinds of 'dumps', bumps and potholes. Such a 300SL is a life-threatening car, especially in the hands of an inept driver. In this case, the German mechanic became a passenger in the boss's car near Pleidelsheim in southern Germany, flipped over but got back on his wheels with this as a result. 'The boss' had just put a price tag of 830.000 euros on the silver-gray car. It is rumored that the damage amounts to 650.000 euros… Driver and co-driver managed to leave the wreckage unharmed.

Sins like that but will probably get a second chance
