Remember my CLS55?
https://mbworld.org/forums/cls55-amg...d-content.html

Well I got rid of it back in March, sold it to one of my friends.

About a week ago.. he lost traction coming around a turn, tires hit a patch of loose gravel, he slid into a curb and went flipping.

He's alright, some bruises and a few stitches, passenger had bruises, no cuts... they're completely fine, how insane is that?

At least the car got put out of it's misery lol

Why would you sell a car you know has a lot of problems to someone you call a friend? Better him than you right?

That's the best thing that could have happened to that car. Glad your friends are OK. BTW what kind of friend was oblivious enough to purchase that car from you? I followed your original 5pg thread-o-problems, I've never heard of a car having that many issues. That was a long, expensive lesson to learn.

You said you'd buy another by summertime...it's summer. What'cha buying?

Time to update your "drives" and signature too, that car is deader than fried chicken. Good riddance.
