Chris, cars are replaceable, people are not. I'm glad to hear that you seem to be OK. That's the important thing!

Holy sh*t Chris! Sorry to hear about the accident but very glad you and your friend are ok. The girl that hit you, is she one of these high school teens? That really sucks. So what's next? C32? 55?

Chris, that f'in sucks but you are safe. I know your passion for your car and hope you will put that into your next ride. Let me know what you are going to get- I have some leftover parts from my E55 that I will donate to your cause.

Oops, sorry to see that.
Forget about the car...it is more important that you are safe.

I was looking forward to see your car tomorrow at the meeting.

Btw, what is another stopped car you hit?

W124's
Henry - thanks for posting that link. Already contacted the seller.

Angela - I'll try to make the meet tomorrow. I'd really like to go. If not - light a candle for me and my car and I will be there in spirit.

James - She was one of those HS students with a brand new car. Her car was packed with 4 other people so I bet there was plenty of distractions going around. I'd LOVE to jump in a C32 if I find a really good deal on one. C55 is just out of the question - that'll remain a dream.

Vic - Thanks man! I'll probably just get a W124 again or a C32. Can any of those parts fit those cars!? LOL but really ... lets drink the night away sometime soon to get my mind off the loss of my baby. lol

Benz Devil - The other car I hit was a Saturn. Barely anything happened to that car. All the damages it got were scratches. DAMN THOSE DENT RESISTANT BODIES!

Smokie - Still have that Black W124 for sale or did you get rid of it already?

and by the way ... she did look like a crack *****. I'm being serious.

Unhappy

Hey Chris.......... all I can say: I'm sorry.
I'm speechless and that's exactly what I was thinking about. OUR cars have practically no value nowadays and when you mod your car heavily your not gonna get your money back, "ever" even with receipts for all the work done. BTW I think you'll get only a portion of it when you state to your insurance agent that your car is modified.
Chris, what I'm saying is that this situation is crossing my mind everyday I'm on the street. I'm even more scared now, after seeing what could happen to me. I'm glad you and your friend is okay. Hope your gonna get what you like and not regret it.

dudeeeeee chris what the ****!
dont total it out. just go bigger and better on with her insurance money.
looks like you need f/r bumpers... WALD KIT!
and since its such old paint (assuming its original) youll need a paint job.
this is the perfect oppurtunity to build your dream w124 on someone elses funds and do it legally. dont total it out. plus youll get extra money by saying youre hurt.
little does anyone know, the reason my car was in the shop was bc some 80 yr old korean lady ran a red light and hit me so her insurance paid for everything (kit, paint, body work, everything)
my whole front end was smashed in but not totaled out
think it out big dawg
