You should meet Debbie
Debbie is a girl that has a negative remark for every situation. She is a downer. I never saw it until I did a search for Debbie Downer SNL. Below is a link to a link to just one of many places you can get the video.

I think Debbie wants to join the one2four club.
Too bad Lindsay Lohan doesn't want to join.

I think I am Debbie Downer today.

Don't worry about giving me any grief. Today a stupid knucklehead pulled out from a parallel parking spot and he drove right into the back rear portion of my rear passenger door, the rear quarter panel, and the AMG wheel. I was traveling at less than the posted 25 mph speed limit and he still pulled right out without looking where he was going. Can you believe this? He was driving a W124! It had dents all over it and he said he was in the process of buying it from a friend with a 3 million dollar house. The car was still in his friend's name and the insurance card was expired. He wasn't even sure about his address, but thankfully the police were available to help him understand that he was going to have to produce valid insurance and a valid address.
I guess it will be OK somehow, since my insurance will pay and go after the others for my deductible. The knucklehead even managed to scratch my AMG Monoblock I wheels, which were absolutely unavailable from anywhere that I tried in the past. They are the Monoblock I wheels in a 16" size and I was never able to find one when I wanted to get a 5th wheel for a spare. They are the old-school wheels and they are a bit unusual since they are the 16" size. I love my wheels. Fortunately the very good Mercedes specialist body shop said that the wheel could easily be resurfaced and refinished. I think it really will be OK, but it is a big nuisance and I have been sick to my stomach thinking about the fact that my pristine car has been damaged. The estimator made me feel a little better when he explained how they would fix things. It wont be a fill -it-in-with-putty kind of job. It is a very fine body shop.
Now my only problem is that I absolutely hate driving around with the car damaged. It just doesn't feel right at all.
I guess today I really am Debbie Downer.

LOL at the last comment but that's fuked up! I almost died yesturday too! I was on the 405 freeway and caltrans decided to close two lanes at 8:00pm and the people in front of me did not have time to change lanes so they hit each other and i hit the brakes and was going to smack to the back of an expedition. I didn't have a place to go and had to jump the divider on the cherry ave exit and hit like 10 cones. Thank god for my abs because i could steer and brake at the same time. Also the cones did not go under the car because of the lower valance I installed. The only damage was that i scraped the floor pan but it could be fixed with a little spray paint.

Thanks for note hating me
Hi Smokie,
Thanks for the link. I am sure the Wheel Collision Center can repair my wheel and they are even located very close to where I live. Someday I might even think about getting some polished lips, now that I know how local they are. They also had quite a list of wheels to purchase. I especially liked the 16" x 7.5" 5-spoke Mercedes wheels that came on the W210 model. They look like my OEM 15" Special Edition wheels, except they are the 16" x 7.5" size. I think they may even have a slightly higher offset than my AMGs, so I would be able to fit 225/50/16 tires without rubbing. I can't imagine replacing my AMG wheels and I don't want to give up my OEM Special Edition wheels, even though they are only 15" wheels, but it is fun thinking bout getting another set of wheels.
I am smiling again, so everything is going to be OK. I just have to get my car fixed as soon as possible so I can go on with my life and not keep thinking about yesterday and my damaged vehicle.
