Nearest I can figure, he fixed the car up and sold it. Not sure about the paint. I guess it either had bad paint that he fixed or did not fix. Then 6 weeks later he happened by the same car in a wrecking yard. Seems the car went off the road and ended up by the river 175 feet away. The woman driving it undid her seat belt and only had a scratch on her but managed to walk away. Due to the unparalleled safety of MB, that is why he loves MB.

Mind you, this is all just a guess on my part but that's what I got when I read the OP's post. I could be wrong.

She had it for 1 week I told here to slow it down. 5 weeks later she was going may be 80-90,left the road went air born hit a tree went upside down,hit another tree car came to rest in small creek bed.The car was 325ft off the road. She undid belt fell on broken glass and got cut.That is all that happened to her. Went towed my car home.

What, they might follow somebody too close?

Couldn't resist. I don't see anything different in the driving potential of a person based on sex...sorry Bad drivers come in all flavors.

Was there moonshine involved or did I miss that part?
