Thank god you are all right. You experienced the ultimate reason to own a car like this.

It is thye ultimate justification for owning a Mercedes. It was why I took mine down to San Francisco and San Jose on Thursday (and then back) a 400 mile one day trip. 1/4 mile from home in the new snow, at 25 mph hit some black ice and skidded into oncoming traffic (of which there was none on a rural road at night, thanks god.)

It is why I have left the Subaru Outback at home

Wasn't this car the gorgeous Almandine coupe that was from Mercedes Benz of Laguna Niguel (in Southern California) that got wrecked?

Please say no; it was one of the lovliest looking CE cars I ever saw, it was the one on the Benz LGB threads about coupes I think....

Isn't there a way it could be saved?

Maybe not, even a light roll in an '89 = probably a total loss. Damn.


LATE EDIT: OMG it IS that car. post #263:

I am truly sorry.
