See, it doesn't look like an "impatiently wiggle" to me, it just looks like a happy little bounce. Like the car is just happy to be there.
edit: searching for "cute happy bounce" on giphy is a risky endeavor, btw.
Back in the '80s my mother bought a citroen BX. One of the unique features of the air suspension was a lever by the handbrake you could use to change the ride height. At it's lowest level there was basically zero suspension movement, so you could drive down the street at normal speed but every tiny bump would have the car bouncing up and down for 15 seconds. And it was like this video, but twice the speed.
Every time I'd take my friends for a hotbox in mom's car, once we were high someone would lower the suspension and we'd all be in hysterics by the time we got home. It was just absurd.
Kinda amazing we didn't break the chassis.
no, the engineering team just does whatever the leaders asks them to do.
Marketing basically found a way to add hydraulics to a vehicle without making it look "ghetto" by giving it the "it's for sand dunes" excuse.
So the executives told engineers to do it.
It’s a crime that this is the only American Woodcock video on GIPHY. I posted a better one [from Imgur](https://imgur.com/gallery/5sR6dcM) too but this one got all the attention
Lmao, I don’t know where you guys are from but around here it’s usually some shitty old Malibu or similar sized car. They pull up to 7-11 with all the windows down blaring music that is shouting obscenities every other would while children and old people are walking by mortified.
But some of the "still cool/funny dad" ones will occasionally use it to embarrass their snob children on the school pickup.
"Whaddaya think, kiddos? Pretty *el fuego!*"
\*soft bouncing\*
It’s funny because Mercedes makes excellent off road vehicles that never leave pavement. The G wagon can hold its own against purpose built off road vehicles and handles sand dunes like it’s nothing. But you’ll never see one doing it.
This was my thought, every Canadian has had to dig their car out of the snow with whatever makeshift shovel they could find cause they sunk, couldn't get traction, and turned the snow under their tires to ice from trying to rock the car back and forth to get momentum
That's why they made it. It's to show off like this. They just made an excuse for getting their cars out of sand dunes. It's not a feature that anyone uses.
Anyone on vacation to visit these sand dunes would rent an actual off-road vehicle, be a local who can't afford the car, or be a rich prince who would probably just throw it away and swap into a different one when it gets stuck.

There are a lot of Mercedes SUVs driven by inexperienced drivers in major Canadian cities.
I could see this helping people who would otherwise just sit there spinning their tires wondering what the snow did to their car.
Former European car tech here. The old Mercedes s500’s with hydraulic suspension systems had to have all the air bled out after replacing a component. On the scan tool you activate “rodeo mode” and the car would bounce around a lot like this. These were 2005ish models

I'm not your Compa , carnal !
I’m not your carnal, cabron!
I’m not yur cabron, cuate.
Nah, it's "T.O."

Tio literally translated to Uncle in English
But how did they know it's gonna be an uncle?
They took yer jeob!

They got that mario kart animation now. Siiiiiick
Or some exec at Mercedes got caught doing the deed in his car and covered it up with “our cars have a jump mode” and here we are
Mercedes has been offering this in lesser models since 2019. But this video has gone viral on TikTok today, so now it's going viral here.
and Mercedes drivers finding it hard not to be obnoxious
I mean if my car had an "impatiently wiggle" button, I'd press it, too.

Well this might be a function in GTA soon hahaha
They gentrified hydraulics smh
they knew EXACTLY what they were doing with this, and it had nothing to do with sand
More like the engineering team facing off against the marketing team.

You drive without rhythm: you won't attract the worm.

So good
I had no desire to ever own a Mercedes. Until now. I would never stop doing this.
Just gotta find a song whose BPM matches your specific vehicle's bounce rate!
Me neither! I may be an old woman driving a sturdy Volvo, but I'd love to be able to do this!
Same
What’ll make them annoying will be the music they’re blaring at max volume that can be heard from a few blocks away.
Those guys usually drive BMW
Lmao, I don’t know where you guys are from but around here it’s usually some shitty old Malibu or similar sized car. They pull up to 7-11 with all the windows down blaring music that is shouting obscenities every other would while children and old people are walking by mortified.
yeah around here it's some civic-type with a body kit and one of those exhaust mods that sounds like an AK47
It's silly as fuck and I wish my car did it.
Yeah I have to admit, if I was stuck in stop and go traffic, I'd totally amuse myself with this.
Because it’s not bright or loud.
Oh great, just when spinner rims finally went out of style now we get humping cars….
Damn people and their fun!
Chicanos did it decades ago, and still are doing it
Just gentrification of hydraulics
[удалено]
Every white guy under 30 in the 90s with a classic car was messing around with hydraulics.
Nice ride vato
All my friends know the low rider.
Cultural appropriation
"Chicano and I'm Brown and I'm proud. Guantes, chingazos, simon tu sabes, get down."
Germany finally catching up with Mexico.
Their music already sounds the same.

Great theme tbh
I love that someone immediately thought of this. Gotta be my favorite band.
That's because Germans came to Mexico and brought their music. Mexico is a diverse country.
No but actually. Hell even Modelo is German.
IIRC almost all the main Mexican beers were founded by Germans
hear the tuba player gets all the chicas when the mexican polka bands come around
No, they finally caught up to us South Cali Chicanos.

This is the exact quote I was thinking of. You're doing god's work.

nobody who bought or will buy this car will ever use it on sand or dirt 👍
But some of the "still cool/funny dad" ones will occasionally use it to embarrass their snob children on the school pickup. "Whaddaya think, kiddos? Pretty *el fuego!*" \*soft bouncing\*
Now you're just writing their ads for them.
tbh that should be the primary feature for this in the first place, the sand thing is just a bonus
[удалено]
>Saudi Princes I think Saudi Princes usually opt for the AMG/Maybach/Brabus G Wagons which are actually decent off road vehicles from the factory.
Nah, they take Land Cruisers offroading. No matter how rich anyone is in that region, they all have Land Cruisers.
*Meanwhile, at Burning Man…*
It’s funny because Mercedes makes excellent off road vehicles that never leave pavement. The G wagon can hold its own against purpose built off road vehicles and handles sand dunes like it’s nothing. But you’ll never see one doing it.
Probably not, but it would be helpful in snow and that’s much more realistic for normal every day driving
This was my thought, every Canadian has had to dig their car out of the snow with whatever makeshift shovel they could find cause they sunk, couldn't get traction, and turned the snow under their tires to ice from trying to rock the car back and forth to get momentum
oh lord if I had the money to buy one of these, I'd do it specifically for this reason and this reason only.
if i had to guess, I'd be pretty sure this is something they did for rich oil princes who go dune running or beach driving
[удалено]
Well yeah the marketing specifically said it’s for getting out of the sand. Literally the first thing in the video 😅
This video says sand and mud
[удалено]
I saw a Maybach emblem on one. So, mucho max dinero jefe!
Merc/maybach Gls600… runs about 200k. Some of the others look like the regular gls but might have the option to add.
Its the e active body control ride. It‘s almost 10k fir the option
For 10k I’m bouncing my ass straight out of that dealership
But.....when you're buying THESE kinda mercs, 10k is pocket change lol
Damn I only have 199k
I can chip in a penny
Hmm how many k is that

My wife and I want to rent one just to do this in traffic to uptown funk.

Luxury cars trying to act gangsta...
If you ever been to the hood it's full of luxury cars.
Holy crap I’ve never wanted a Mercedes more in my life…. Never particularly liked them before now
For this feature alone, I wonder if it'd be more economical to just install hydraulics on whatever car you currently have.
Maybe, but if those break and hurt someone it's your fault. If this one breaks it's mercedes' fault...
I desperately want this on my civic.
My dodge stratus did that after I didn't see a gray painted island in a mall parking lot at night.
I do that on grand theft auto

Burning man proof
I’d just hang blow up dolls out of the window and drive around
Because so many Mercedes get stuck in mud and sand.
to be fair, this is a Maybach, and I bet they are partly designed for Saudis and the Emirates. AND THEY HAVE A SHITLOAD OF SAND...
There are a lot of Mercedes SUVs driven by inexperienced drivers in major Canadian cities. I could see this helping people who would otherwise just sit there spinning their tires wondering what the snow did to their car.
Could work well for snow.

VIVA LA RAZA
This is really really funny. Thanks!
How to get you back in for service for suspension swaps.
...don't comma' knockin'
Old news... Cholos figured this one out years ago and their shit has a much higher bounce than that.
Classy when rich people do it, trashy when poor people do it
Ive never seen that before, and now im going to see it 5 times on my way home today.
Anyone buying a Mercedes isn't getting stuck in the sand with it. This feels like a solution to a problem that didn't exist.
