190D,
Yeah, I rolled that in Idaho on I-84 between Twin Falls and Pocatello (IIRC). That was back in 1995, I only had the car about 10 months. I was NOT happy because the car was incredibly immaculate - I mean near flawless cosmetically, with a cream-beige interior. It was a 5-speed, used almost no oil, and got 40mpg on the freeway.
The short version on the wreck is: I was doing 75 on a sunny day, on clean, dry pavement. There was a black cloud off in the distance. I crested a hill, and the road was white with ball-bearing-style hail. I let off the throttle and the car slowly pivoted, slid into the median, where the tires dug into the dirt and flipped it over. When the cops finally arrived 20 minutes later, he almost spun out trying to stop, which is probably why I didn't get a ticket - it was a real fluke of a storm. The car was totaled but it still started & ran, all 4 doors opened & closed, and the sunroof still worked! That convinced me to buy another Mercedes instead of a newer Jetta or something. If I had flipped my VW Dasher the roof probably would have collapsed on my head, the Benz stayed intact. And that was the "little" Baby Benz W201!
Eventually I plan to make some web pages to go along with the photos out there, to explain things. Maybe later this year if I have time...?
Regards,
