OT: How comes it's always our wives....... or is it?
Here are some cuts from the last couple of months!
-------------------------------------------------------
My wife was hit in the back in my mb a few weeks ago. 2 small scratches about the size of a pencil eraser. The body shop estimated $625 to remove and repaint the bumper.
-------------------------------------------------------
I dont have a digi cam (wife broke it, and I am not buying another one till our next vacation).
-------------------------------------------------------
my wife took the car to run errands today. She usually drives her car, but took the MB today. She just told me over the phone that someone tapped the rear of the MB today.
------------------------------------------------------
I remember we tried and tried to eject a "stuck" disc in the CD player once, actually it was my wife.
-----------------------------------------------------
my wife managed to back up into a parked RV and nicked the paint

It's probably their way of getting back at us for paying more attention to our cars than them. Or it could be that they just aren't as careful as we are.
If it was a 97 Honda Accord we would probably not even notice a scratch or a dent here or there.

I'm single, but it could be that they are getting back at us (like mentioned above).
My ex-girlfriend was actually a very good driver. She drove too fast in town and too slow on the highway. Sometimes she did not coast. Her foot was either on the brake or on the gas!
However, she always drove my old MB and drove right through potholes and got the car very dirty. She kind of stopped doing that once I started to make it a point to FART in her car as much as possible! :v It worked, but I must note that this has nothing to do with the reason she is now an ex.

Nothing MB related (sorry)
Why is it always the wives who 'damage' your MBs...
Hmmm, my guess is that the males among us don't want to talk about any scratch or dent they have made on the car!
So go ahead, and blame it on the wife!

Do the Women choose which parking spot looks like the car will not be near any other vehicle, or do the Men? Who consistantly parks closer to the entrance of a store, Men or Women? ...and who thinks the other is "nuts"?
...of course if the car is rear ended or hit while parked, it doesn't matter was driving it.

My ex gf was parking mine in our garage and drove the sideview mirror right into a work bench. The mirror folded of course so id didn't break or anything, but it left a nice big scratch which I have yet to repair. Grrrr!!! I normally wouldn;t have mentioned it, but as long as we are sitting here griping about damage our ladies have done to our cars, I figured I may as well get that off my chest.

i have my share of accident (well one, but it was a big one). when i was in college, i was trying to avoid a woman putting on her make up and swerved into my lane. I had to swerve my car to avoid being hit by her, I ended up hitting a car and a truck infront of me. So technically it really wan't my fault.
But so far here is what my wife has done since 2000.
1. pulling into a parking space at her work place, hit a parked car and scratch the front bumper. (2000 TL).
2. Hit a bicyclist because she let her brake go while changing the CD. (i am so happy that he was not injured and did not file a claim).
3. Got T-bone in the TL because when she backed out her parking space without taking a look at rear to see if any car is coming. (totall the TL). The SUV had no damage other than slight scrape on the bumper.
4. Decided that my M3 and closet in the garage should merge into one and messed up the right side front panel.
BTW, i have not mentioned any minor accident she had (such as screwed up the rims).
Any time when i have to ride with the wife, i swear i am close in getting a heart attack.

greetingz,
When it comes to my wife, she never had any kind of accident or incident since our second day of marriage (the first day she backed into a tree with our VW 1600 Variant). She always had her own car, and she kept them in mint condition. She is very calm, never upset (that’s when she’s in the car though…), and follows each and every rule (not even a parking ticket!). So therefore I’m not trustworthy if I would try to blame my wife for those incidents that tends to happen with my own cars.
