Thanks for joining Dan. Looks like your car maybe hit the white car too, did she get 2 for 1? You do realise that there are easier ways to service the driveshaft... I think if you look you should be able to find a nice replacement for what the insurance company is offering you.

My street curves around to the left (the direction she was coming from) and she claims her brakes went out. Her Cougar scooped right under my Mercedes and totaled it. She admitted to me that she was going to fast. She was later given a sobriety test and was taken away in the cop car. Believe or not the afternoon before I got my new Colorado registration after my temporary plates have been expired since December 4th. Bad week end for me. But I dont have the car right now but am planning on buying it back from insurance if the price is right. So now I am on the hunt for a new Benz. I might even go to Texas or another more south state or California for one.
