Wow... never saw that before...

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I don't get what you're saying.

what i'm saying is i think you are spoofing us. :pimp

I am calling Pig shit.

Never heard or seen anything like it.
Unless someone was trying to kill you and it was a bomb?

If its a manufacture defect you will be set for life. Call a Lawyer.

Cars do not just randomly explode like that FYI.
YOu are not remotly curious as to how it happened? You just post pics about it on a porn board?

Wow! scary as hell. You should have know what's the cause of it.

and this is why majority of the board thinks you are a moron.

OH and this sort of thing happens all the time with Mercedes?
It's common knowledge?:1orglaugh

If it were a hit he would have been killed, no dumb ass blows the engine to kill someone its two wires in the fuel line connected to the starter. WHich would be hard to pull off in a busy parking lot.

Is this real?

Wow, I can't think of anything that would explode like that when the car is turned off. Even with it running you would have a hard time duplicating that type of engine failure.

What did the engine look like?

It really happened last night and that is my car, and I still managed to go see Push last night too. Good movie BTW.

Awright man. What ever.

I wasn't there when it happened, I was inside best buy. I myself have no fucking clue what happened, but from what people said... it exploded. Not one person said otherwise. It's also Sunday, I don't expect anyone to have an answer for me as to "what" caused it.

The fire hoses cleaned off most of the car, so it looks like new still except the hood.

To answer some other questions... it was parked, it was off. No one mentioned a bomb, but I'm sure the police will investigate. If they don't, I surely will.

That sucks man. Good thing you're not inside when it happened.

thats pretty damn fucked up - wonder what they gonna offer you to keep this out of court

I take it you're referring to after... parts. The firemen did take more out to make sure it wasn't smoldering. I should have taken photos while it was still on the ground, but I had other things on my mind then to bust out the camera.

bullshit!

Well good luck man.

Start making a list of people that would want to see you dead.
SHorten the list by the people that would know how to kill you and consider the ones that would prolly not have much of an idea how.

Ex Wife?

LOL

Anyways OK, sorry and good luck bud, that is pretty fucken unusual.

Glad you're ok. Please keep us posted regarding the cause and MB reaction.

Ok, you tell me what happened.

Maybe the battery blew up?

the battery isnt under the hood in that model class

well.. the good part is that u have a mercedes...

i really wonder how people still can buy those cars, when they work in this business... profits going down each and every month... seriously wonder if they are working in this biz or in other...

I'm putting my money on movie location shoot.

Holy fucking shit that's crazy! Glad you weren't in it when it decided to explode.

Go that right. I've seen other people's cars start on fire, but nothing like this.

New to you is what you probably meant to say.

Judging by the non pointed grill and front spoiler that looks like its an 03-05

Thou fail-est at thy sarcasm:

2008 E Class.

umm a car doesnt blow up not started, even a battery exploding wouldnt do that, im calling bullshit either way.

Just Scary, Thank GOD You're ok Man, remove all the cars and switch to Bikes, world will be more peaceful probabely ;)

Keep us updated and Pls let us know How this worked out for You.

If it's real, I would guess it's the battery which exploded. They can generate a huge velocity if the core blows out, and it would be in a single direction since mostly just the core is getting ejected. :2 cents:

What's the model and year? It looks like a late model E-Series. I drive an 08 E63 AMG, so I'm curious about this. E500?

No way is there enough force to do that kind of damage. I had a battery blow up on my motorcycle when I went to start it up. The only outcome was one large exploding sound and plastic from the case being scattered.
I wasn't injured and the bike was still fine.

ok I searched everywhere for exploded hoods, car bombs, even videos of bombs in hoods, pics of batteries exploded.. nothing comes close to what happened to your car. there were cars with nothing left underneath and still the hood still in one piece in the air.

again I say bullshit,, or your the first

thats fuked up lol

keep us updated with what happens

the E-classes are fire

something is very strange here - the police haven't contacted you yet? a car explosion doesn't seem like something that would be treated so lightly. you'd think they'd want to interview the owner of the car. police didn't come and collect any evidence. that very well could be a crime scene.

that would have killed you and others had it happened on a freeway.
