who started this post was just lucky, if he can be believed, and it's absolutely nothing to brag about.

A couple of weeks later I received this DVD in the mail saying o thanks for being interested in a BMW blah blah blah. I popped the DVD in and it's a series of short movies of the guy who's the main actor in King Arthur now doing a bunch of stunts in the movie. I'm sure there's the usual 3, 5 and 7 series. And the videos were high quality too! Directed by John Wu man... Good stuff... and I don't know, you see all thes BMW's in James Bond movie... I just think for some reason BMW would connect better to "stunt" than Mercedes.
O and you're mother****ing young...

Notice how in "The CHosen" they smash up an old "stodgy" benz like what they did in Pierce Brosnan's first james bond flick.

when i think of a car getting airborne i always think of a scene from like knightrider or duke of hazard. something rediculously unlikely, fenders buckling, car bottoming out, yet the next scene everything is just fine. im sure yours wasnt nearly that dramatic. glad you didnt hurt your car though.

'02 C230K Coupe
I've done my share of rainy-day parking lot fun. Was able to do 180s and 360s, but it's not really impressive enough to tape, IMHO. Too bad I got the auto tranny (Brabus will charge me $7k to change it back!). Still waiting on upgrading my shocks, then I'll probably start tracking the car on a light schedule.
Top speed I've gone in my C230: 125mph
Have I gone airborne: Enough to trip the traction control indicator on my dash.
Age: 21 next month.
