Favorite Characteristric of the MBZ_Crash Safety

I've hit five deer and one buffalo all at speeds greater than 70 mph with as many cars. All 190's. I wiped out 15 ft of guard rail and crossed the median into oncoming lane of traffic on the interstate avoided oncoming cars and rolled down a 30 foot embankment. Not a scratch. All because of the design of the car. To me it makes little difference what these cars cost to keep running. The people who designed these cars thought very carefully how to protect us and I'm greatful for their efforts.

I've driven the 190 series about 1.5 million miles in every kind of road condition and I've spent about $1200.00 in mechanical repairs on all the cars combined. I do my own mechanical work so there isn't any shop labor in the repair bills.
