On Christmas... Mercedes gave me a gift.

On Christmas of 2006, I got my life back.


Hit a tree doing about 60... Lost control because it was wet and the road was crap. Instead of flying off a cliff the Mercedes bounced off the tree and into a ditch by the side of the road. Just in case you cant see, the B-pillar is totally bent in, as is the roof and front.

I love Mercedes

****CORRECTION****

This line should read:

...Lost control because I lack experience and have no clue how to operate a motor vehicle under adverse weather and road conditions....


Really glad you car saved your hide, they're engineered to do just that. Just make sure you are aware of where the blame belongs.
