Sorry to hear about your mishap, and I hope you get your car back to looking new without any expenses on your part. On the other hand, you shouting on top of your lungs to and giving out the impression you are about to hit a [what sounds like a] lady of a certain age sounds unacceptable to me! Even if she did yell at your mother (which does sound capable of handling herself against another lady). Cooler heads should prevail at even the most trying circumstances, especially when it comes to showing [sometimes unwarranted] respect towards (a) an age senior to ours and (b) a member of the opposite sex.

Do not get me wrong: I grew up in a hot-headed part of the world and culture where tempers blow up sky high at the slightest provocation. While I have never hesitated or cowered in dispensing hell to people--and I mean exclusively male members of the group--who crossed me and did not allow me a way out, I would never, ever allow myself to yell to an older woman. Consider yourself lucky her son was not in your vicinity!

Again, I hope your jewel of a benz is back to shining like new!

lOL or for an S63.................

and for the person that posted above you - she was in her 50s........ or late 40s....... and got out of the car with an attitude to begin with - so ill scream as loud as i want - especially if she raises her voice to my mother. I am not concerned about others..... if her son was around and tried to do something to me - i think he'd have come to the conclusion that its unwise to pick a fight with someone that will first warn him that any actions on his part will result in 25 NYPD officers learning his name and remembering his car.

Not to say the Mercedes didn't, I'm sure it did but under the bumper.

I'd rather total a Land Cruiser than just have a bumper removal in a Yukon... it's about the tranfer of energy and where it gets dissapated to. The occupant -- or the car.

How is the repair coming?
My 2007 CLS 550 has been in the shop since the end of October of last year waiting for parts. The airbag cover and the seatbelt buckles are still back ordered from MB.

From the look of the POS that hit you, be glad she has insurance!!!!!! Hope you don't find out that her policy lapsed? It's amazing how many losers don't drive with any, even with the huge fines. That they don't pay when issued. Good luck people like her should be visited by the boys.

Hi Hi

Repairs will start soon - I am going tomorrow (SATURDAY) at 8:30am to Geico (her insurance) which is only 10 minutes from my house. They will look at the bumper - dunno why they have too....... and then ill have MB call them up to come over if the damage is MORE than the estimate.

Will talk to them about rental car and depreciation......

LOL! Be aware that a bunch of angry Russian dudes with connections up the wazoo may prove to be a harder crowd to deal with than 25 NY cops--these dudes don't play by the rules and they especially don't take well to anyone messing with their women. I applaud your sense of being invincible, but do not outrun your luck. Good manners and overall class can go a long way towards a comfortable existence. Anyway, I may not have the right to lecture you, and im OT too so..

I remembered your story when I mentioned the Land Cruiser.
BTW: My family has a few Land Cruisers / LX450 / LX470's.

Most "imported" thugs do not have expensive cars--they have hordes and hordes of extended families and friends of friends, in other words, allegiances.

But i apologize, I have hijacked your thread with nothing that is relevant to your issue. Please post pics of the reinvigorated ride--a damaged S Class is a thought our forum should not be exposed for too long a time. Cheers!
