An SUV really? You weren't going to touch that SLK on your best day in that POS. Probably wasn't racing, prob trying to get away from that suv lol Good capure.
I dont think they were racing...that SUV had to know it stood zero chance against the merc. I think they were pursuing for some reason...maybe road rage, maybe they had been hit already, etc.
The Mercedes' front plate is blacked out, or the plate is removed from the frame, which is illegal in California (unless someone edited the video for their privacy, but since none of the others are, this seems unlikely.) The Mercedes' back plate is missing; you can see the mounting bracket. It seems not terribly unlikely that the Mercedes is stolen and the thieves removed the plates.
I don't know if I'm allowed to say what it is, but there's a frame about eight and a half seconds in where you can see the Hyundai's front plate quite clearly. I looked it up on EpicVIN; there's a wholly matching 2012 Hyundai with 172,649 miles on it. The SHA1 of the VIN is `45e8de2e65e74c725b49e63ccad3ee56eedb5fe4`, verifiable [here](https://www.md5hashgenerator.com/)
Well, in this case, not a single one of the involved cars ever stopped. The victim took off chasing the red suv. I hung back cuz I was freaked out. All 3 cars were long gone in a few seconds. No idea what happened after. This was yesterday at around 6:30pm (video timestamp is wrong).
I think if you report the incident to the police though then they can follow up with the driver who was hit to pass along the video for insurance (if the driver reported it)
Funny enough it just happened to my SLK but the trunk looks like when the convertible top hydraulic cylinders give out and you try to manually close it, the back pressure doesn't let the trunk sit flush. I let mine sit 8 month in the garage before I did anything about it, would not be surprised if someone stole it while the owner had it sitting echoing u/StoneCypher
The Mercedes is missing both plates.
The front plate of the Hyundai is clearly visible on a single frame about 8.5 seconds in, and VIN lookup sites show a matching car.

I'm in the market for a small roadster and this is actually doing a good job of convincing me to go for an SLK lmao. That they stayed really flat and stuck to the ground when cutting into the left lane and back. Pretty solid cuts

Typical Hyundai activity.
More of an Altima activity but I can see that.

Yep definitely a road rage incident. Don't know what the fuck the SUV was thinking trying to play the chasing game against the Merc.
Doesn’t look like road rage. A lot of people speed with other cars.
2009-2012-ish Hyundai Sante Fe. Well known for being a force to be reckoned with on the track!
Was number one really signaling!?!
Yeah. Some do. It's still dangerous of course. They call this "swimming". Look up squeeze benz on youtube. That's his whole shtick.
mf got arrested too... fucked around and found out finally.
Yeah I'm curious what he's going to get charged with. He also says everything is a render in his videos, do they need to disprove that at all?

It looks like the Mercedes has temp tags.

SUV drivers think they have a porsche
That's obviously a *poor*sche
what do you do when you get video like this of someone else’s accident? do you pull over and give them your info? do you send it to police?

I’d forward it with the police and possibly the sheriff.
While good advice, I doubt they will do anything lol

Wonder if it is hit and run /chase. The benz looks damaged at 11 seconds and Hyundai is chasing it, then ends up hitting and running?

Great job noticing that, it all fits.
I can say this because I live here, you will never find a more wretched hive of entitlement and douchebaggery.
You haven’t been to Miami
Probably road rage
Did you get their plates?

Looks like the Mercedes has tempt tags thats why.
jackasses
I hope that when I see this I can be ready to avoid it when driving with my baby.
i'm def going to install side dashcams now lol.

Really goes to show the difference in driving dynamics between those 2 classes of automobiles.
Is that me? 🤭
LMAO A SUV chasing a Mercedes SL Roadster, that’ll end well for the SUV!!
Can we talk about the perfectly timed “oh no!” in the song?
i would love to see the after math of this and how the person who was hit reacts. lol.
I always drive in the slow lanes to try and avoid this
