some clueless old lady in an s500 backed into my s2k while it was parked in front of my house. the door is all messed up, but there's no damage to the rest of the car.

so what's the diagnosis? they have to send for a new door from japan. damn!

At work, guards, safety barriers and such are usually painted yellow. Everyone of them has been hit, run over, demolished, or crushed.

It is said at work, if you want someone to hit it, paint it yellow!

Maybe all our S2Ks are really yellow!



But dude, although my damage isn't that severe, I still know how you feel. Atleast you saw it happen!

Ehhh! What's an s500 (unless you mean the original S car. I'd be almost pleased to run into one of those!

Well, I'm putting "clueless old lady" together with "S500" and saying that yes, it was indeed a Mercedes...

That sucks, my man. The nightmare will be over soon...

Two people at my work bought S500 Mercedes. The year 2000 models really are quite nice.

However, having hit a stook, I would say this one was not...nice that is.

As for the rash of accidents, could it be the weather change? You know people drive like freaks in the winter around here. Here is California, the slightest bit of drizzle and it's accident city! Sometimes I can hardly believe it.

Ahhh, so it's not just Sydney Australia.

Ever get the feeling that there's this whol ebunch of people who sit around all day and all night. Then at the first sign of rain jump in there cars and practice driving "using the Force".

Bummer about the Merc attack. Your S'll be good as new soon and what doesn't kill 'em makes 'em stronger ('course that's bull****, but I'm trying to make you feel better).
