SL/M6
The upgraded EU safety front bonnet looks to be raised quite nicely after the impact. Will he get another one, or shall he dabble with something new?

poor car...
hope everyone was ok...
but traffic stopping quickly shouldnt be an excuse... its a result of following too close or not having enough awareness for the traffic up ahead...

Agree...likely an inept SL63 driver....biggest risk w/perf car braking on a sudden slow/stop on a busy fwy is being rear-ended by the typically 10yo POS following too closely and being driven by an even more inept driver....
Perhaps this inept SL63 driver would be better served by hiring a competent driver and commuting via a new S63/65 w/DistPlus (w/its collision warning and auto partial braking) as a limo instead.....some people clearly lack basic driving skills, no matter what car they manage to buy/lease...

the no-star look is reallly nice lol. aggressive for sure.
However, the damage looks like its just hood and fender. unless there is other major damage it should be a relatively simple fix. such a beauty, but its only a broken bone. they heal

Yeah, that shouldnt be more...
than, lessee, 2 feners, a hood, grill trim, etc, --probably $15k or so. Good luck to them.
