First GLK "mini" accident
Hey
Last night I was with a couple of friends in my GLK, I was in reverse backing up and it was a bit crowded but the guy behind me was driving slow which meant that I could back up. When my car was half way back I looked at my mirror and saw his car 1 inch behind me then heard a sound, it was him trying to pass but couldn't so he scratched the rear of my GLK. There was nothing I can do because I was already half way in the road! When I confronted him he said "I didn't see you"
. Oh well I was glad it wasn't anything serious, I took it to a shop to polish it, and was happy that 95% was gone but there were a few scratches that needed paint. So my GLK is off to the paint shop.

Aw fudge! Yeah, I'm always a bit nervous when backing out of a parking space. The rearward visibility does have quite a few blind spots. Wish we had the backup camera at times.
