Kind of a funny story i was driving with my knee's and txting and eating! Going about (85-90) and there was this really crazy turn on the freeway by the time i put my hands on the wheel the car went too far to the side and it kinda slipped in the dirt and all i remember was the airbag knocking me out! LOL i hit like 4-5 trees and kncoked out a light pole and my car landed on top of the 5 or 6th tree haha luckily no cars were involved in the accident and no one got hurt! The car is pretty dam strong!! The whole thing was totaled besides the part i was sitting at and what was crazy was i only had a scratch on my leg! lol i guess God was on my side!!

im sorry but i dont find any hilarity to that story, sheer luck you didnt hit anybody else or that anybody else was around you, sounds a bit reckless. hope you drive this one a bit more safely.

At least you got to walk away with a "warning" that you should actually pay attention and drive when you're driving. I cannot tell you how many idiots I see here in vegas texting, eating, smoking, drinking, reading etc while attempting to drive down the road. The latest one I saw was a lady smoking and talking on her cell while driving a stick shift car and making a turn. Live and learn.................a lot of people don't get the live option.

Dag...did they need a helicopter to find you ? Glad ur ok. You witnessed one of the benefits of driving a heavy, solid, well built car. At least u didn't total a highway patrol car drunk like that moron in a CLK320 posted on here a while back.

They didnt find me! IT was real hard getting outa the car and when i did i was stuck in the middle of where 2 freeways connect and it sucked no one wouldnt stop their car and i finally ran off of the freeway and called my older bro's from a gas station and i had to call the cops myself. Took $500 to take my car outa where it was stuck in and take it home! But after everything i didnt car about anything but losing my CLK. I drove many cars after my accident but nothing as good as a CLK so it took me a while to save up and get another one.

It is so easy to reach 80 mph in the CLK430 and it feels like your are doing 55mph. I constantly have to reduce my speed everytime I look down at the speedo. Im glad it is a safe car cause it tricks you into speeding.

I feel the same way with the V6. ^ Can't imagine a V8.

I think all euros feel smooth on the highway.
