VIDEO: Repairing your own Maybach
Going hand-in-hand with the wrecked Maybach we found, here is one of the most appalling thing we've ever seen. This is a great example of what not to do to any car. Romanian soccer team owner and billionaire Gheorge Becali managed to rack up the ne plus ultra of Mercedes at least four times. Out came the crowbars, away went pieces of the doorskin. We wept openly. The Maybach may not be a looker, but it certainly doesn't deserve this type of sadism.
Thanks to tipster maddan.

The terms "billionaire" and "nice guy" seldom intersect, but they NEVER intersect in Russia. There are two ways to get wealthy in Russia: 1) Be a member of the Russian mob, and 2)Chew up the poor and spit them out with gusto.
So this couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Obviously he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, either.

Wow, this guy doesn't make you very optimistic about the human race. What a moron.

First of all, Gale, you are a complete idiot when it comes to other nations. You know nothing about Russia, or Romania, such as that these are two COMPLETELY different countries and were NEVER a part of the same country.
Also, most of people in Russia are quite prosperous these days. I know, I visited Russia last September.
Thirdly (and finally to the point of this video), I think it's very cool. There is a strong feeling of Boratish absurdity in here! (Now recall that faux-Kazakhstan hometown of Borat was actually filmed in Romania).

I'd be just as frantic to fix my Maybach knowing it was either take a crow bar to it or take the donkey cart to work.

A soul-less repair to a soul-less car... quite fitting actually. If it was a Ferrari I would care.

What the hell is this retard trying to accomplish except show that he's certainly lacking any mechanical skill whatsoever.
I still haven't figured out exactly what he was trying to destroy.

WELL, those decades of Soviet rule did not help the Rumanians to bring out the classiest part of their culture.
To those who do not "get" what he is doing: he is showing the world that he is so rich, that he can treat a Maybach like an old tractor, and it does not matter. Perhaps Vulgaria would be a better name for his world.

Um, people he'd sideswiped a pole or something earlier, so taking a crowbar to the door was the only way to get it open.

His little bodywork job with the crowbar was an improvement to that maybach, what?

Dynamite story. "Billionaire messes up his very expensive, not that interesting, and admittedly ugly car, and he doesn't even seem to care. Waaaaah! Oh the humanity!"
No offense but it really comes of as sycophantic and weird to care so much about a car that's only distinguishing feature is its price tag.

If he was so rich, he would be able to afford more than one car.

Alex (#3):
You need some corrections. Most people in Russia are VERY POOR. The poverty is such a problem that it is a high contributor to the suicide rate among adult men and the declining population. Male life expectancy is just sixty-one years. The per capita income is just over $4,000.
Another correction: Romania was a puppet state of the USSR during the Cold War. The Russian army took over the country in 1944-45 and installed a pro-Soviet republic in power with troop divisions stationed throughout the country for added preserve the state socialist government. The Russians withdrew after civil unrest in East Europe and the killing of Nicolae Ceauşescu in 1989.
