R.I.P to my dear Mercedes S500
This thread has nothing to do with blackberry...but it's the off-topic lounge so here i go.
Three weeks ago, my car got totaled because some dumb lady thought that being in the RIGHT lane with her RIGHT flasher on meant that she could turn LEFT without looking in the mirror/dead spot was the right thing to do.
She hit the back of my car, i lost control, and ended up hitting a light post across the street, my girlfriend ended up at the hospital and she has now lost strength in the right part of her body... not permanently though (THANK GOD). We were five passengers in the car, luckily no one got seriously injured.
Fortunately, there was a police officer who saw the whole thing, but the stupid lady had the boldness to say that it was my fault, that i was speeding, and all bunch of BS.
At first, the insurance gave me 75 hundred for the car (it's 13 years old), but i wanted to keep it since i have another s500 (Designo one, for those not accustomed with Mercedes, it's a pricey option that comes with orange/brown leather and great wood grain that matches the leather seats, google it if you're interested) and i wanted to get some "free" parts, so they ended up offering me 7k, plus 1.2k for the rental of a '13 Passat (that both my girlfriend and I hated btw) and i get to keep my now totaled S500. Not a bad deal if you ask me. (payed 5600 in 2011 at an auction)
Still sad that this W220 won't be cruising the streets anymore, in the 50k+ KMs that i had the chance to drive her, not once did she let me stranded in the streets.
That was my first accident (I'm 22), and i was so pissed off at that ***** (sorry for my cursing) but how the hell can you have the nerves to hit me, totaling my car in the process, sending my girlfriend to the hospital, saying i'm lying and leave the scene without apologizing.
Here's a pic of the front, there's more damage at the back (insurance evaluated damages to 12k (frame was bent, so i knew right then that it was done)
