The Mercedes-Benz’s G-Class nickname is Gelände wagen, which in German, translates to ‘all-terrain vehicle’, but in Afrikaans, which is a West Germanic language spoken in parts of Africa, it literally translates to ‘landed carriage’.
You’ll find that definition quite appropriate for the black G-Wagen featured in the following video recorded from a service shop’s security camera when it fell off the car lift.
The incident may have occurred in Russia or Ukraine – we’re not sure, since the names of both countries were thrown into the heated conversation on YouTube where a war of words broke between viewers from both nations.
