C280 vs oak tree
This was my 94 C280. In Dec 03 I hit a oak tree on a country road at about 75 mph. The roof had to be cut off to get me out of it. The car pretty much saved my life and all the paramedics said the occupants of most other cars would have died, fortunately I only had a broken leg. I love the W203 I have now but I miss and appreciate how well made the W202s are.
