BENZGal

So Usman did the same. While it's sad, still gotta give it the w00t!

Usman,
I'm glad to hear you are ok. Mike called me about selling my car to you. Make me an offer. You can catch the Greyhound to the party or Mike will come pick you up. I'm sure all of us would pitch in for the Greyhound. Sorry about the car! RIP[U] I hope your girlfriend is ok! You're a cool guy so hang in there K?

The Godfather

WTF
i crahsed my car friday. when did he crash his? this is some serious bad karma. i only hope an aduster comes out b4 i leave for the florida keys on thrus. i need to send my car into my buddies shop so he can start the laundry list of parts since i know the stealership wont have any of them and they will all come from germany.

another guy crashed his 124 last week also. anyone got any ideas on what is happening. i am thankful my new painjob didnt get hurt. i think i am in for 4k in repairs if the unibody isnt bent.

good luck and best wishes to those that were in that car.

CDP

dang, that's sad to hear that another W210 is gone. Honestly though, what's the odds of the same accident happening again??? Just as long as he's okay. A car can be replaced, no worries.

I'll pitch in for the greyhound.

Screw this im not driving. All the benzos seem to be crashing.

That video was depressing as hell though.

CDP

Fred, what video are you talking about?

No kidding, I don't want to drive my Benz anymore either. The crashes have been happening to people I know.

FThornton666

Ask usman to see the video. I would send it to you but my PC is bieng taken over by a Top Gear download.

CDP

lol punk. are you downloading it from the sources I gave you or no?

Which reminds me, time for me to download!

I'll ask Usman, thanks man.

FThornton666

Only one to DL is the 700 MB version.

CDP

damn bro, wait it out. lol! Sometimes I get desperate and download the 700MB one, I mean...the quality is good but not any better than the 350MB. Should be up around after 10pm and so on. No worries.

FThornton666

10PM = Party time so im just dling the 700 MB version.

AMG_Eric

post up the links to the top gear files guys.

CDP

top gear videos aren't for all to see.

not links either, torrents.

The Godfather

I so wouldn't use torrents.... you know how easy it is to get nabbed by the RIAA? (though in this case w/ top gear Im sure it's no one's real worry...). don't get in the habit of using it...

CDP

Yeah, sometimes I wonder about Torrents, but then again. I never use my ISP. LOL! Ricky taught my how to use newsgroups though. awesome stuff there. Just easier to download tv shows via torrents if you know what I mean.

The Godfather

I use newsgroups.

Thanks -- me too... the car did what it was suppose to

Lady Wolf

I am so sorry about your car but I'm glad you are ok! One thing we do know about the E is that it's a safe car Is it really as bad as it looks in the photo? I hope not

eLemnt | 0ne

Thank you- it is really sad what happened to my car Right now, it's just sitting in my driveway; I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet.

*sigh*

Here are two more pics.





The engine is still works fine, but all fluids drained from it. The frame is still straight, but the tie rod on the driver side front wheel is broken so the steering rack can't turn that wheel- we had to move the car little by little and kick the tire to get it onto the flat bed and onto my driveway.

If the car is repairable... I'm scared to know how much it's going to cost.

wow Eric, those skid marks are really close to that light pole. Good thing you stopped in time. I think this Accident curse is hitting all of us.

Happened to me today, but luckily I avoided it fast. I was going on the 5 South merging into the 55 S on ramp and this green pick up truck side swipes a mod civic. Something flys out from one of their cars, I'm going to fast to realize what it is and I try to avoid it but it was too late. Slams into my front bumper. At least I thought I ran over it with my tire because I heard a loud BOOM. I pull over right away and inspect everything. Everything is good but whatever I hit totally hit me hard enough to make the tow hook cover pop out. Not to mention that, I almost ran into the stupid trunk because the idiot decides to make a dead stop right in the middle of the freeway and then pull over to the side. Someone almost rear ends me because in my rear view mirror I see tire smoke and what not. I'm so glad nothing more happened. What's with all this BS that has been happening?

Note to everyone, be safe out there while you're driving. Never know what's going to happen.
