c-class saved my fathers live thank u mercedes benz
today i got a call from my father. he says that he had an accident on the highway. he crashs 4 times (i think its named estimate because iam german so i dont know the word for). the final was that his car was on the roof and he wasnt hurt !!! so the police says that he had very big luck. im very happy about this and i thank mercedes benz for this nice and safety car.

Wow! Glad he's okay. The more stories I hear about people walking away from major accidents in their C class, the more safe I feel in my car!
Thanks for sharing.

Your english sounds correct for the most part - "he crashes 4 times" - not sure what this is intended to mean, but I assume the accident was a four car crash, he was hit four times, or something to that degree.
Glad your dad was okay and sorry to hear about the ride - those wheels look hot!

I'm glad to hear your father is ok.
That sucks to hear that he got in an accident, but hearing this makes me feel pretty safe in my car...

Yes, I'm glad to hear that you're father didn't have any serious injuries from this accident.
Your English is actually good!
Thanks for clarifying the number "4".Just for your curiousity, I have slightly edited your comment (not completely grammatically correct though).
"today i got a call from my father. he had an accident on the highway and rolled over 4 times! His car ended upside down and wasn't hurt !!! so the police said that he was very lucky. i'm very happy about this and i thank mercedes benz for this nice and safety car."
Cheers!!!

Tebin, glad your father is okay. Looking foward to seeing photos of how the car held up structurally. Thanks for your effort in a non-native tongue -- your English is better than that of some Americans.
Also, can you recommend any good Mercedes Benz sightseeing spots you're aware of in Germany? For example, is there anything to see in Affalterbach for AMG fans or is it just a factory closed to the public?

whoa - glad your dad is ok bud.
I have a similar story about my uncle. Not the smartest guy but he was driving around an old 380SEL. He blasted through a stop sign trying to make a tee time and an SUV smashed into him. He was pretty seriously hurt but everyone agreed from the aftermath that his car saved his life.
