One less 05 clk55
I'm fine. 06 suburban decided not to stop at a red light I was stopping for. He hit me at about 55mph and I walked away a little stiff but no real injuries. Was looking for another 05 55 I'm my area but they are all cabriolet. Looking for a clean w211 E55 if you know of one.

Sorry about your car, hope you're doing well.
Was that a female driving texting or putting nail polish on her fingers or a male driver DUI?
Hitting you at 55mph will screw your neck for the rest of your life.
Sue that driver for negligent driving, loss of vehicle and body injury.

Damb that looks painful in more ways than one. Fortunately the car collapsed and absorbed the impact.
E63 might be a good retreat.
Healthy wishes, Gator

I feel your pain. I lost my C55 in December - crash damage similar to yours. I walked away without injury. Couldn't find another one so I settled for an Audi S5 with a manual. Really nice car, but I want my AMG back.

I went with an 06 e55. Doesn't handle the same but still a nice car.
