i'm sure the Schumacher brothers won't feel that way about their mom ...

not preaching here, BenzOnline - I know how you feel.

but here's some food for thought for everyone:

if your mom damaged your car lightly in a fender-bender, it is very likely that you will be outraged.

but if your mom figured in a major accident and totalled your car, would you feel the same way? Especially if she was injured? Even if it was her fault?

Looking at things another way, isn't this the perfect excuse to buy new wheels? I recommend the 8-hole type.
