Watch This Guy Lose His Mind As His Nearly New Mercedes Becomes A Fireball

Gabriel Lopes bought himself a 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300 with 13,000 miles on the clock - just one week later it became a fireball. He's shared the video of the moment it all happened, and while it's easy to laugh at his reaction, you can't help but feel sorry for him!

The fire extinguisher is only standard equipment in the Euro-spec model. It’s not included in the US-spec model. Even if you do have a fire extinguisher, getting close to a burning car on your own is an extremely foolish idea, for three reasons:

  1. The fumes of burning paint and plastic are extremely hazardous to your health. Smoke inhalation can lead to a lot of medical conditions, not to mention the fact that the fumes can be carcinogenic.

  2. Not only are the fumes bad for you, but they also contain vaporized plastic and other chemicals, which can get on your skin and cause chemical burns and other nasty reactions.

  3. I direct you to the timecode 3:00.

Mate if no one is in danger just let her burn. It couldn’t be covered more under warantee if it tried.

Fire extinguisher doesnt work most of the time, it’s more for interior fires etc. or a really small fire

Its funny because of the way he reacts but deep down everyone of us would cry if it happened to our cars.

I don’t think it’s funny, I can really feel it

No. It’s a new car and the dipshit should have insurance. If it was a project car or a classic or something sure it would suck but something that just came off the line can be replaced.

Yeah, well, I’d be pissed if it happened to my car, but hey, that’s what insurance is for, and if you can afford one, you can afford another.

could probably have been saved with the extinguisher…
but its likely better to loose the car than risk injuries or worse while trying to save it

The previous owner had played mess on the electrical before and didn’t sort it properly.

Or the car had an unknown electrical defect from factory.
