I Guess I Am Not The Only Person,

to have problems with products,

for myself it is normally anything electrical, the product will have a mind of its own and in extreme cases decided to commit suicide well before its appointed time, but it appears that for Russian vlogger Mikhail Litvin, it was his car that was the problem, I say was because he took drastic action when it repeatedly broke down, he burnt his car to a melted wreck! photographs Mikhail Litvin/YouTube,

the problems he was experiencing were not what you would expect from a car that cost 13 million rubles, or around $170,000. For that kind of money one would expect both performance and durability, only Litvin claims that his Mercedes-AMG G63 was really short on the latter. Despite having allegedly driven it only 15,000 km (about 9,300 miles), he claims the car has been in and out of repair shops over the last 10 months, in anger and frustration he did the only thing that would bring closure to the problem, 

according to local media reports, Mikhail Litvin’s car had been in the Mercedes service shop four times since he bought it, and every time the Mercedes dealership reluctantly accepted to cover repair costs, only to return the car to him without actually fixing the problems. The vlogger claimed that, at one point, the dealership refused to fix the car, so he took it to a friend’s shop, where amazingly if true, he discovered that Mercedes had used aftermarket parts instead of OEM ones on a previous repair!

so earlier this month, the young vlogger drove the car to the middle of a field, splattered it with gasoline both inside and out to the sound of dramatic Russian music, before lighting it ablaze and attempting to drive off in an old ZAZ 968m that eventually needed pushing, what a way to make a point, burn $170,000! it would be interesting to hear a comment from Mercedes-Benz, were after market parts really used on Litvin’s car instead of OEM ones? I guess we will never know!
