Talk about a sticky situation…

A Russian CEO’s Bentley was accidentally covered in cement recently when he parked his car a little too close to a construction site… Doh.

Artur Shachnev, the CEO of a music production company, was alerted to the incident by a security worker, but even though his €170,000 motor was completely destroyed, Artur managed to find the funny side of things…

Posting to a Russian social media site, Artur said that the incident was his nomination for the “Cement Bucket Challenge”.

“It happened at 7 pm on September 2. My security man called me and said that cement was splashed on my car and asked me to come down. So I did, to take a look at this unique event – it’s not often that security reports such odd moments – and I found this,” Shachnev told Russia Today.

“It’s impossible to clean the concrete off the entire body of the car,” he said. “It needs to be changed. A new body would cost 8 million rubles, twice the price of my car,” he said.

On the bright side, Artur made sure to mention that the lights still turn on and the radio still plays, so at least he has that going for him… which is nice.
