I think many of us know what happened.

When the C300 is brand new, the steering doesn't keep you tracking straight. You only have to look away for a second to find yourself on the shoulder.

Now that we know she's OK... I wonder what the car looks like after that ordeal...

Would like to see if our cars are like those Toyota Tundra commercials where they take a beating and drive off unscathed.
