    Rare is the car that looks this good from below. The video needs an NSFW tag. The dragons are jumping up and down, bent over, with crossed legs looking up at that thing.

    They left the doors open so it could glide to safety if it fell.

    Using a crane seems like cheating to me.

    I'd only be impressed if Mercedes and three of its buddies spent 20 minutes trying to find the right angle to get the SLS through the front door. "Ok, let's turn it sideways, and once we get the hood through, move over to the left so we have some clearance for the windshield...no, my left, not your left...OUCH! the f*&#ing gullwing opened and smashed my f*&#ing foot...somebody tape that door shut..." After several unsuccessful attempts and some skinned knuckles, they finally concede they have to go through the hassle of removing the wheels. But the worst part is taking the SLS up the stairwell without gouging the hell out of the walls. Beers for everybody at the top.

    Colton Harris-Moore didn't need a Schloff crane and team of rigger to lift a Mercedes.

    Watch this and realize that the guy who drives the SLS from the little garage to the crane has more will power than anyone here. You cannot possibly tell me that any Jalop wouldn't have given that poor Merc a big smoky burnout before its flight.

    nice use of Ocean's 11/12/13 music for this reverse heist.

    Interesting placement of the door handles. I would have thought they'd use some fancy touch sensor pad ala [www.lafranceautoworks.com] to pop open the doors instead of the bend over, upskirt handle grab.

    You're both wrong. They flew too high to spot one car. It would have been B-25 Mitchell and B-26 Marauder pilots, stuck as they were with medium-level missions, the poor bastards.

    I don't have much of no building design edumacation, but I'da thought an auto museum might have a cargo elevator capable of, y'know, moving cars up and down through the building.
