In certain places around the world people from Dallas, Texas are considered rich, class-obsessed morons. This photo of a Dallas citizen deciding to ignore the bright orange warning cones and park in freshly-poured concrete only solidifies this theory.
According to Alison Bristol, who snapped this photograph, the Mercedes driver somehow missed the ongoing construction:
“Apparently, the driver didn’t realize the construction crew just finished pouring cement on the road,” Bristol said, adding that the car drove into a work area clearly marked by signs and cones.

Mercedes has announced their latest C-Class car with its next-generation four-cylinder diesel mill, uniquely titled “BlueEFFICIENCY.” And the specs are certainly impressive: Mercedes boasts 204 HP and 369 lb-ft of torque from the 2.2-liter four, while returning a combined 45 MPG and meeting EU5 emissions standards in the C-Class Prime form. Mercedes states the BlueEFFICIENCY engine will replace four separate diesels at the company, and be offered in the E-Class, the new GLK-Class and in a future E‑Class Coupe (yes, you heard me right – an E-Class Coupé is coming) in addition to the C-Class.
The technological highlights include a maximum ignition pressure of 200 bar; fourth-generation common-rail technology with a rail pressure increased to 2000 bar and a new piezo-injector concept with direct nozzle needle control (for greater flexibility in injection timing); larger, variable oil spray nozzles and a variable water pump; dual-stage supercharging; and a camshaft drive positioned in the rear. But don’t worry, If you don’t know what any of that means, the performance figures speak for themselves.
Equipped on the C 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, the new 2.2L diesel engine is capable of propelling the C-Class from 0-62 mph in just 7.0 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph. But what makes the powerplant truly unique is it’s fuel consumption. The diesel helps the C-Class consume an NEDC average of 5.2 liters of fuel per 100 km (or 45 mpg, for Americans). In addition, CO2 emissions weigh in at 138 g/km, enough to easily comply with future EU5 emissions standards.

Today we are presented with not one, not two, but five new tuning packages from the hands of the hardworking designers at Wald Tuning. Yup, you read that right: 5 new tuning packages from Wald. They’ve put their artist touches and tuning prowess on the C-Class, the GLK-Class, the SL-Class, the R-Class and the Mercedes Viano.
How do you describe what all is part of a Wald Tuning? While I could attempt to do so for each of the new tuning kits, the photos do a better job, so have at them. One point of interest however is that each of these Wald kits are still currently in development stages, so you’ll have to wait a bit longer before placing your orders…
