So, It happened ... got into a accident earlier around 4:15pm today. I was at a red light completely stopped while a Volkswagen Beetle packed with 17 year olds completely rear ended me at around 40-50MPH. She stated to the officer that she wasn't playing attention to the road and when she looked up she had no time to react and impacted my car. The impact was so hard that it flew my car forward around one and a half car lengths having me rear end another stopped car. Three car accident total. I'm pretty bummed out and pissed. At least my friend and I are safe.

The car is a total loss. Already have my lawyer and etc working on it.

Here are some pictures ...









The f*cken b*tch that hit me ... her car had minimal damages...





The distance they pushed my car forward ...




So... I took everything out of my car already. The lights are all messed up. System is out - wheels are out. Basically everything but the shocks and springs.

Whoever wants the springs and shocks ... let me know ... but i'm not gonna uninstall them. You'll have to do it. We can do a swap or whatever.

Man ...

Dude that sucks. the important thing is that you are ok and not dead. the car can be replaced but you cannot.


On another note...
Are you going to replace it with another W124, or are you going to go with something else altogether?

***** dude, I don't even know what to say. I'm glad you're OK.

This is a dark day for MBWorld to lose a stunning w124 like yours.

:


Also, go to a chiropractor. lots of the chronic aches and pains that people have are the long term effects of injuries from car accidents that people blow off as "no big deal".

Take care Chris.

holy ***** man, you must be devastated... at least you came out of it okay, but to see your car like that it must be little consolation... sorry man, for real

Thanks Matt and Alon.

Definitely happy with how the car held up with such a hard impact. I on the other hand ... I'm so PISSED!

Visiting the Chiropractor tomorrow and taking care of everything. Have to get a rental car.

and yeah I plan to get another W124. It's still up in the air or I might settle with a C32. I'll keep you all posted.

Chris wth!! Hope you dealt with them before the cops can, you know what I mean. Glad to here your ok, Benz's man they keep you protected don't they? Make sure to get yourself checked out. who knows what could of happened. Take care bro.

Sorry to hear what happened Chris. Glad you're okay and hopefully you'll come out a richer man from this. C32 FTW!

That's devastating! It's good you're alright!! If it were up to me, beatles would be banned from the road, and this would have never happened! damn... i don't even know what to say. i was realy looking forward to seeing that baby on saturday... but, seriously, it's good you're alright! Luckily, those benzes are good with accidents. man i'm sorry. i've had 2 cars totalled, both not my fault... i know how it feels... not cool at all.

I'm really sorry to see that. But, it's good to see you're not in the hospital.

Oh snap! That's my worst nightmare right now. Seriously, I hope you're doing okay. U still going to the meet? I'll be working in Anaheim in the morning on Saturday, so if you need a ride to the meet let me know.

A few years ago my buddy lost control of his porsche in the rain and we hit a stopped LS400 at 70mph and then an Accord. I broke both arms, legs, ribs, cut my scalp, nose, cheek, etc. I had to have surgery to keep gaps out of my hairline and had to wait months on end to get back to school/work. My friend lost some movement in his wrist due to it being fused with metal and has some facial scars that show even after 100k in surgery. I have no signs of being hurt to this day and am in the best shape of my life, since I always remember how horrible it was not to be able to move in general for all those months. I totaled a lovely car as well a few years back when an uninsured driver made a left in front of me, but at least you don't have to go through the sh* t I did, injury wise. Sue her if the insurance tries to screw you and get a new beauty, since it was 110% her fault. She was careless and could have taken your life, as well as your W124.

cy

Soooo sorry to hear mang...Let me know if I could help with anything!~!

stupid drivers and them not paying attention. your car looks real nice and its a shame that its totalled. hopefully in the end you'll be able to get a c55 and not put in any money

holy ****, that brings back a lot of bad memmories. At least you and your friend are alright. Really sorry for the loss though, she took the hit, it was a gorgeous w124, but it's only material so it's replaceable. That girl's sooo fucked...

That sucks man. At least you'll get your money back. Remember to visit the chiropractor to make sure you're not injured.

Btw, was she hot? :P

man thats such a bummer, again like the others were all sorry to see it go. Hopefully you dont have too much whiplash after being hit at 50mph, really sucks to see another w124 totalled thread

Thanks for the support guys.

Sucks knowing that outside in my drive way my car is sitting there all beat up.

Peter & Sun - I might have to take you up on those offers!

cy0811 - thanks for the heads up. I'm gonna do my best with my situation.

Tangerine - the C55 will be an absolute dream car!

oggle - no she was beeeeaaat.

anyways - I forgot to mention that she actually speed up before hitting me ...



and ... Does anyone know anyone selling a C32 or W124?

dude what happened to the car in front of you?

It left - the cop said the car wasn't needed for anything.

It was a green saturn and ... barely anything happened to it. like ... scratches and that was it.

aww man this looks like it happened right in front of my house. Is that ninth street up ahead?

Yeah that's Ninth Street.

It happened right in front of Gail and Chapman. Right on that corner.

I heard there was two accidents a couple hours earlier from mine as well... what gives!? My moms friends daughter got into a accident where I had mine today as well not to long ago...

We all get a turn and it was yours today. If it makes you feel any better, if you don't end up going to the meet tomorrow, i'm going up to visit Albert, you can tag along if you like. Seriously though, don't let this thing drag you down. Try get some rest and just look foward...Stay strong buddy.

sorry to hear about wht happened , may it RIP. The main point is your okay .

stupid 17 year old girl drivers...she was probably talking on the phone while playing with the radio.."Hang on...I think I just hit someone!"

It's sad to see your w124 go (it was one of the best!), but soon enough you'll be back on your feet with a new car to start modding. Get a 400E!

Glad you're okay

Man wtf??? Chris I'm SO sorry to hear what happened...It's hard to believe actually.

I'm sure glad to know your ok though, the car can be replaced but your life cannot.

Let us not forget what happend to Jin on the CLK forums...

Damn, I'm at a total loss for words...

Duuuude... let me be the first to say ... and Im truly sorry for what happened! The world is full of carless people. They dont understand that driving isnt a thing do just do, its a responsibility and people can be hurt or killed as a result of their carelessness. Its not fair dude, your car was nice! I was actually looking to your car for cues on what to do to mine.. Well, whatever the case is, your okay, and thats what counts. There are millions of w124s around to be had.
