My Son found that photo. He was as flabbergasted & we are. We can only assume it was under water?

I think that this is taking weight reduction a bit too far. The tree is a nice touch though.

That is the “Submarine of Nekkar” (SP?). They drained a river to clean it up and found that at the bottom.  They figured it was nearly new when it was stolen.  I think it now resides in one of the Mercedes clubs in Europe.

Well there 'ya go. Its too bad someone took it from its rightful owner then dumped it like it was nothing. Hope karma played a role later.

The good news is that it was in fresh water. Sea water would have done more damage. I could use the driver's side window! Mine has a chip.
