My cousin spotted that 6X6, and I didn't believe him, but I remembered you posted a pic of it

A Google search turns out it belongs to Monaco

Makes me wonder what kind of diplomatic work this consul is doing. I often see at MB Manhattan, Meatpacking district, or Midtown. My guess is some rich kid.

At one point it was parked in a midtown garage with a flat for a month or two

Rich stupid people driving a 6x6 vehicle around town... soon we'll see a tank on the streets.

You just need connection. A family friend offered us diplomatic plates once, but we refused since they're not insured.
But imagine being able to park anywhere you want in Manhattan

I spotted this two weeks ago in downtown Aspen, CO.

You get high marks for having Tom Waits on.

And then there were two...

I tracked the owner's or caretaker's? (can't really tell) Instagram. I remember Justin as a MB sales associate at MB Greenwich a long time ago.

When I first saw the press release, I asked myself if these would be suitable for short(er) people. I found out this past evening at dinner; this couple (they've must've been both 5'5-5'6) had their G 4x4 valet parked out front and from my patio seat I observed them struggling to climb in. No deployable side steps, so their vehicle entry took quite some time.

Didn't he work at MB of Manhattan? I remember Wolf posting some of his shots some time ago.

That's what I thought as well. He was the guy ordering bold Designo color combinations.

Mercedes-Benz G 500 4X4²

Unique special model still available until end of October: Production of limited G 500 4x4² comes to an end

Stuttgart. One highlight of the G-Class model range, the G 500 4x4² (combined fuel consumption: 13.8 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 323 g/km), can only be ordered until the end of October. The phenomenal response to the show car had led to the series production of this special model, which comes with such features as portal axles. The first models of the G 500 4x4² arrived in the showrooms in December 2015.

Developed for extreme off-road use, the portal axles are the technical highlight of the G 500 4x4². In contrast to conventional rigid axles, the wheels are not at the height of the axle centre, but are instead much lower down on the axle heads due to the portal transmission. This increases the ground clearance to 450 millimetres and the fording depth – or rather the diving depth - to 1000 millimetres.

The on-road performance of the special model is equally impressive thanks to the 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine with its 310 kW (422 hp). Due to the significantly wider track of the portal axles compared with the standard vehicle (+ 299 mm), large 22-inch wheels with 325/55 R 22 tyres and adjustable damping with a Sport mode, the superior G-Class corners dynamically despite its higher centre of gravity. The G 500 4x4² can still be ordered until the end of October at prices starting at 231,693 euros.

Really perfect car for her

No deployable side steps, so their vehicle entry took quite some time.

That reminds me of a couple of midgets I saw in Russia getting into a Maybach, they were about the size of my 4 year old at the time, they had child seats in the back of the car.

I bet she's mistaken for a Kardashian all the time, poor thing!!

What a waste

 

[Yaz]

Hey, at least it was used properly.

 

[hannaz]

What a waste

This one is not 4x4-2, its not port-axle, but the normal one fitted with MT tyres. Seems like the car is jacked up.
