Custom Conversion.............ouch
Wednesday wasn't a good day for me, "I didn't see the red light" is what she told the cop.
Cop told me she was doing 45-50mph.
I'm more than a bit sore.

It was a Plymouth PT Cruiser. The car in front of my GLK in the first photo.
I'm here because of the side curtain airbags is what the EMTs told me. And a friend chimed in with the comment you can thank German steel.

What is it with bad PT Cruiser drivers.
Did most of your airbags go off?

I was t-boned by a PT Cruiser 2 weeks ago and that idiot driver ran a red and hit the drivers door of my car as well, doing about the same thing but a little more damage on my end, which is why I am looking at GLK's to replace it.

All my driver side curtain bags deployed but not the front facing bags. Did you spin when you were hit? When she ran into me I wound up doing a 180 heading originally east then ending up facing west. Her car did not go through me it bounced backwards.

Hope you weren't hurt.

PT drivers seem to be oblivious to the world around them.

The PT was a total loss with more damage than it was worth. She had a foot injury and abrasions from the front airbag.
The Cop wrote her for FS 316.075(1)(C)(1) Failure to stop, steady red indication. (running a light)

My car was a declared a total loss. The other drivers company paid me promptly after my claim. The GLK retained about 60% of it's value with over 37k miles on the odometer. Sadly though MB is not importing GLC diesels at present.
