Finally Got an Accident ... (Grrrrr)

My baby hit a car right in front of me last Friday due to her owner's mistake.

The car hit by me got a small damage on the corner of the rear bumper but mine got damaged severely. I am so sad and need any word soothing my nerves.

Slowing follow but without enough care made this consequence.

I have to call a towing company tomorrow morning. Do I have to call a flat-bed towing car (because my car is 4 Matic)? And do you know how much the rate for towing is usually (in MD)? Smartly, I declined towing option in my insurance because I thought Mercedes life-time roadside assistance even provided towing service for collision accident cars.

Driving Safe!

Sorry to hear.
I had a similar accident almost a month ago -- the car infront of me stalled just after when the light turned green which I couldn't stop in time and I had some significant cosmetic damage to my front end. Meanwhile the other car had barely any damage -- it was a 70's Plymouth clunker. I will post pics soon.

Luckily I took my car to a Mercedes dealer operated body shop, so it will be fixed back to factory spec which I will be picking up this Wednesday.

I hope things work out for you. Good luck!

Always flatbed a Benz (rear-wheel or 4-matic)

Hope she gets well soon
