Damn Mike hope everyone ok! I'm sure you'll feel a little sore the next day.A ****ty situation but at least your making light of the situation hahaha.

DaveW68

Most of that will buff right out. But I know some Russians with some heavy duty chains and a big oak tree who can pull the frame straight.

Are you sure that somebody didn't just kick in the back with their foot so you can have the car totaled and move up to the new E-class?

RichM

A new bumper, diffuser and some PDR you should be good to go. Hope you are OK.

Mike5215

I'm not loving that E like I thought I would. It's like a swollen C with the same T4. To option one out nice it was $70k. I can think of a lot of cars I'd rather have for that money.

KNBS550

Glad to hear you are ok. Forget the mallet, rope it to a tree and drive forward. It'll straighten right out.

DaveW68

Hold out for the E550.

So what the hell happened?

Mike5215

Old guy with a fogged windshield and bad sunlight glare at that time of day. The guy never touched the brakes.

The Thomas J

Wow Mike. Hopefully you are ok. The car can be fixed. My Father was rear ended in his 10 month old es350 by a dump truck while stopped at a red light. $12,000 in damages and blown out shoulder.

Mike5215

A little sore. We'll see tomorrow. The third day is usually the worst.

GPrime2

An old guy, and sun glare, in Florida? No way. Real talk though hope you're ok man.

alx

Easy fix. You on the other hand prolly will be sore on day three.

Mike5215

It's weird. Last year I got barely tapped in the S and I was sore for a week. This time, much bigger hit and much less car but nothing. This guy literally never touched the brakes.

mercedesbenzs55

Wow, I'm glad your doing well for that damage! Glad you got that insurence, Ive still got mine(aintcha proud?).


It doesn't look too bad Mike. I'm looking forward to seeing how you will "soup" it up ��

Mike,

I've always seen you as a smart guy but this one is pure genius. I just wish I had a video of the look on that old guys face when he saw you barreling at him in reverse. Can't wait to see you in the "money jacket" from the profit you will make from this one.

Elements of true genius:
a) Picking a sunny day
b) A elderly guy to run into
c) The skill required to run into him at the appropriate spot at an intersection
d) Having your daughter with you

The real genius play of d was not only would nobody believe that you would do such a thing with your daughter in the car but it served as valuable training for her before her mind was ruined with notions of wasteful activities such as going to college.

It's good to see that you applied valuable lessons learned from the practice you got with the S Class.

Not giving a lot of points for originality because both you and I know where you got the idea from but execution was off the charts.

Mike5215

I found the old guy months before in a grocery store parking lot, taking up three spaces. Then it was simply a matter of following him home. After a few weeks of surveillance I discovered that each Tuesday morning he drove to the pharmacy to pick up his wife's cancer medication.

Then i consulted the NOAA data to determine exactly the moment and precise longitude and latitude for the glare to be at its peak. That morning, my "daughter" (actually a street hooker and meth addict named "Porsche") and I waited on the roadside and as his car approached, barreled into him in reverse at 50 mph.

I'm starting an intensive chiropractic regimine immediately. Meanwhile, I gave Porsche a hundred bucks to go along with my claim for emotional distress, and of course she has her own whiplash claim, which the attorney is kicking me back 20% on.

So yeah, pretty much all going as planned.

MBNUT1

Mike,

Again you have exceeded all expectations. I failed to consider the medical claims on this one I was only considering the difference between the auto insurance payout for the damage to your car and what we both know that you could actually fix the car for. But I shouldn't be surprised considering what a true player you are.

Mike5215

Dude, that's nothing. The old guy felt so bad it was easy to befriend him and convince him to make me the beneficiary to his large life insurance policy.

MBNUT1

You should run for president while there is still time. You're on a roll.

$100 GUY

AEB would have worked wonders then

1bad540

crap glad your ok.... time for a used s class?

Mike5215

If I went back it would be for a 220 based CL circa 04-06. Always wanted one of those. The 221 and I never really hit it off and the 222 doesn't do much for me, and they're still insanely expensive. The 205 is a 3 year lease so unless somebody totals it I'll be keeping it.

1bad540

I like the cl's also, i assume you mean the coupe which i like alot.Not sure what my next car will be, s is still growing on me but to be honest i could take it or leave it. The handling I still cant get used to coming from a slew of Bmws and owning corvettes and vipers.thought about swapping it for a pre owned alpina b7 in alpina blue. That car just sings to me!!!
