Ouch!

I feel the pain from those photos.

It will be a lot worse if you are in another car other than a MB.

Hey VelocitE55,

Never got the chance to say I'm sorry for what happened to you earlier,
was in exile for a while there.
Just want to say that I'm shocked. This kind of thing really is scary.
I'm really glad that you are alive and almost not hurt.
Don't worry about the car, you'll get better one.

This one actually doesn't look too bad. I'd say a little harder then light damage. Should be a total loss in my opinion considering the loss of value and overall car exclusivity. I saw cars with scratched bumper covers here in Denver that got Total Loss....so fight with your insurance till they pay you.

After they pay you - offer to buy it from them - say for 15-20k - it'll retain good title - sell it on ebay or copart for 45k....just a thought.

Anyway glad you're ok and good luck sorting this whole thing out.

P.S. Any cops reading this - stop wasting our money on Starbucks and start doing your job better. Nuts like that should be off the streets.

Dude posted bail. He had a legal right to be on the streets. Now he's off them. Cops aren't to blame here.

Glad you're okay...........believe in Karma-----------that fool will be grabbing his ankles in prison, while you're driving your new cls65!

WHO's who's daddy now

P.S..........send him a thank you card in prison for your new car...........and a bar of soap----------with no rope. :v

Oh My Gosh! This is so unreal... VelocitE55, I can only imagine the emotional stress... random violence is hard to deal with. And this whole Crazy-Merc-Fan crap, it look like his friend got a hold of his ID and got him banned. Good riddance.

Nola

Aren't we exaggerating just a little here?

Off topic - What is this post doing in the E55 section?

Can Drive 55

Because this is THE forum. Where else could Velocity talk to so many brothers at one time? You know that, I know that, we are all members of the same family, aren't we? Honestly, I feel honored that a CLS owner would choose this forum to discuss this matter.

Nola

Oh well... maybe when I buy an E55 I'll be part of the brethren!

Can Drive 55

I wouldn't say that you are not a member right now. It is more of a matter of mindset and attitude than personal possessions. You belong here more than I do, as you have been around much longer and you have demonstrated the brethren attitude far better than I or most of have. We all need to keep in mind that these forums are for enthusiasts, as well as owners.

VelocitE55 actually owned an E55 before he got his CLS, read the first post.

VelocitE55

Yes, when I first registered here, I had an '05 E55. I posted this in the E55 Forum because I would have to agree, this is THE Forum in MBWorld. I am most familiar with the E55 members and feel more at home here than any other Forum. The E55 Forum also has a lot of traffic, much more so than the CLS55 Forum so theres more input and advice to be had here.

hllatif

My 1st time reading this crazy thread... Sorry to hear about your accident VelocitE55 but I'm glad you are ok man..

One piece of advice regarding that "CRAZY-MERC-FAN" dude, just ignore him if he shows up again. He ain't worth it.

Nola

No man, THE forum is OFF TOPIC!!!! It really is the center of ALL knowledge known to man (it's been proven over and over). Although lately it has been tarnished by conspiracy theorists and megalomaniac fearmongers, at least the post ****** are in check. I'll have to spend some more time in E55 though

AsianML

Amen to that. He has just gotten on my nerves. He accused someone in the SLR McLaren of lying. I also don't think a 7 day ban won't do anything. 7 days sure as heck won't do anything to me. Having him here is just giving MBWorld a bad name.

Can Drive 55

Mr. Vanos made his ban permanent.

AsianML

Good. Three cheers for Ricky (for the 7-day ban) and Mr. Vanos (for the permanent ban)!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Now as for the pictures of the car. Man, I'd would go on a rampage.

mrankovic

We're cool here in the E55 forum - we'll take posts on any of the 55 models, and from owners and enthusiasts alike...

Kerr

that is crazy. Im glad you where not hurt worse.

I bet his plan was to get your car at first. This why i cant have a gun in the car.

korveine

That is an insane story. Hope that psycho gets fried on his multiple counts!

Best wishes for your speedy recovery!

VelocitE55,

I did not get a chance to say I'm sorry for what happened to you earlier. I hope to see you driving around Encino soon. I have not seen many CLS55 in the area, but I'm sure we will run across each other soon.

I was really shocked to read that this happened in the area.

I'm really glad that you are alive and here to talk about it.

Let us know the final outcome.

Thanks and welcome to the Forums! Hopefully we will run into eachother (not literally :p ) sometime.

VelocitE55,

My thoughts and condolences go out to you. Although I am a newbie to the forum, seeing this thread made me want to join so i could make this post. I am sorry your had the misfortune of running into someone like that. It truly is a loss to see such a beautiful car done such a wrong. But we still have one of the the brethren of the Tri-star marque alive and well, so there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Do whatever it takes to restore the beauty of your car, your health and send that ******* to the longest sentence in a "federal ram-me-in-the-*** prison." Dont be satisfied with anything less than victory. But remember what happened to the man who completed his quest for vengance...he was never ****ing happier.

A few other things:
When California wises up about gun laws, my personal favorite weapon is the Colt 1911. It doesnt have the greatest range and it makes it easy to have unfortunate mishaps, But, God forbid anything should happen like this to anyone here, With one of these hed be sharing his thoughts with a whole lotta pavement.

As for the car of the future, Don't worry about what people say, Drive what makes you happy, I'm sure you of all people knows it's not all about the price tag or the features...it's about the drive.

You're a trooper, what with putting up with injury and the damage and the forum *******s, So I wish you a speedy recovery and holiday cheer. And best of luck t you with your case, although you likely won't need it. I defend this country so people like you may seek justice in it, And I would be damned if you got anything less that total victory.

Best Wishes,
Black Phoenix

holy crap, this story is amazing

VelocitE55

Just an update for any of you who are interested.

Tomorrow (1/11) is the preliminary hearing which I recieved a Subpoena to. Turns out there were 11 other victims of this *sshole from Thanksgiving day. Also numerous witnesses received Subpoena's to this hearing including one of my own brothers who witnessed the guy ramming two people on a motorcycle about an hour before my attack. The guy has been in jail since it happened.

I have been going to physical therapy 2-3 times a week and am recovering though I still have difficulty with lifting and excessive moving around due to my back which still needs a lot of work. Mostly I just cant stop thinking about the what if's, like what I wish I would have done differently that night.

The CLS55 wont be coming back until around April. I will let you guys know what happens after the hearing tomorrow. Peace.
