Moment of Silence For Our Brother..
My mother just crashed her E300L in China.. Just got the car less than a month ago. She drove for 15+ years and she mistook the gas pedal for the brakes... Luckily nobody was hurt, but after driving my W212 for a year and a half now this is really a stab in the heart.

I have always suspected that I am the only A*hole on the forum. This proves it.

Happy to hear nobody was hurt.

MB’s of all kinds.
Sorry to hear. Glad she is ok! Poor E300L! Are those things worth something along the price of a fully loaded S Class over hear?

Yea the loaded, imported Es in China are around the price range of an S class in the states. Don't think the damages are too severe (probably just a hood, bumper, grill change) but still hurts to see it like this
