Accident!


My C300 will being going under the knife. I was on my way to Melbourne and a frickin semi hit a construction cone and it flew out into the road. I tried to avoid it but nailed it with my passenger mirror. Totally destroyed it and scratched the window. Already took it to the shop and they were over $2000 and still going. I couldn't believe there wasn't a scratch on the body.
Had it less than a month and I'm about to thow up about it. But I'll tell you what- this car handled like a dream. Doing 55 and pulled hard left then right to maintain the lane and not hit the oncoming traffic. No body roll and gripped the road like a frickin go kart. I'm definitely sold and will stand by this cars performance.

Hey! sad to hear about your car but good to hear that everyone is O.K. and that there is no huge damage.

And you got me thinking about a car club... I would love to join one if u find one. Maybe even start one?

Sorry to hear about your accident. I feel for you misfortune, but good to know everyone is fine. You always can replace broken things, but not lives.

Your car should be good as new soon.
