Arrgghhh!!!

Look what had happen to my baby...





This happened on Saturday. Heres the story. Since i haven't cleaned my car in weeks i decided start on the inside then out. Im cleaning the inside of my car tryin to get everything all nice and neat for the weekend. My center counsole was messed up because the last time i cleaned it i didn't snap the wood back on all the way. So this time i threw my car in neutral to take it apart. Once i got the centee console all cleaned up i had put the wood center back on like it should. Now that the inside of my car was vacuumed and amor alled i got out of the car (forgot to put the car back into Park) and shut my door. I went into our shop office and 1 minute later i hear my dad yelling out loud. I went out to see what was going on and my car rolled down the lot into the street. And the ****ed up trunk was caused by a Ford F150. I ran down there, start my car and pulled it back up to our lot. Hes' truck bed was **** while the damaged to my car was only my trunk and taillights. But damn our W124 is a BUILT TOUGH car. I love my car but yeah it was all ****ed and now heres how my car looks.





Now i got the Benz with a Platinum trunk. Whatcha know about that platinum trunk!? Lol

Yeah, I still have my springs ... I'm going to see if I can make them work on the new car. If not, they are up for grabs to whoever has the money first.
