16yo Kid Totaled My 2009 E550
I have already posted about this in the W212 forum but I figured the W211 folks would be interested in seeing what happened.
Well, I might be joining the W212 series sooner than I thought. My W211 was totaled last night in a wreck. Mercedes just earned a customer for life because there is no way my gf and I should have walked away from this wreck.
Stay safe everyone and remember to look both ways when going through an intersection. I was drilled by a Suburban on the driver's side at 40mph and it took the FD an hour to cut me out. 16yo kid blew a red and never even hit his brakes. Also slammed in to another SUV on the passenger side who was turning left right next to me.

jk good to hear you guys are both ok. Gives me self assurance that even though this car milks me for money in repairs it will repay itself in safety

Remember to take all your aftermarket parts before the insurance takes it all, steering wheels, wheels, and such.

An hour to cut you out of a car, and you're posting about it the next morning.
I tip my hat to MB safety engineers.....

Glad to hear everyone is alright. My wife had an accident on Christmas day, which totaled our 2007 E350. Now I have a 2009 E350 and will be a MB driver for live.

Thank the Good Lord you guys walked away from it. That 5-fiddy did its job.....
~~~wondering if it's got rear bags (air springs) and if I could run to Chi-Town and get 'em off.
