German mechanic Gilsroy Mansen decided to go for a joyride in a client's classic Mercedes and ended up destroying it in the process.

The Mercedes was a rare 1954 300SL which is one of the most sought after classics in the Mercedes line.

The mechanic, during his joyride, lost control of the vehicle while trying to speed past another car on the highway.  Mansen rolled the car several times destroying it completely and making it into a mangled metal mess.

Mansen was unharmed from the accident but will probably not be unharmed once the owner gets a hold of him, or at least I could not promise that if I had been the owner.
