Because Red Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing: Video

We’ll warn you in advance that the latest video from the crew at Petrolicious won’t teach you anything at all about vintage cars or how to drive them. It won’t inspire you to comb junkyards for a rebuildable Mercedes-Benz 300SL, because the cars are stratospherically expensive and every single example built is likely accounted for. It probably won’t inspire you to turn the hoon knob up to 11 and terrorize pedestrians and other drivers in your current ride, either, since the driving portrayed is, well, responsible. So why are we showing you the video?

Because, as enthusiasts, we’ve all been there. Sometimes, the road just calls, and schedules, meetings and Christmas dinners have to wait. If you had access to an immaculate 300SL Gullwing, can you really tell us you’d take the quick way to the store and back? We didn’t think so.

Besides, this video is pure, unadulterated Mercedes-Benz 300SL porn, as only Petrolicious can serve it up. It’s work safe, and you won’t need to change windows if your significant other suddenly wanders into the room. On top of that, it’s a Friday afternoon and the car is a 300SL; do we really need another reason to bring you the video?
