  • Damned shame. :(

    Almost made it to 18 years...

    The story as posted HERE:

    Originally posted by Anomaly
    On the way to work this morning, I observed a traffic collision between a VW Toureg and a Mercedes Benz S500...

    Then I was involuntarily included.

    Here's the story:

    I was stopped at a stop light - 2 cars back - when I saw the VW Toureg (who was making a left onto the street I was on) get hit by the MB S500 (who ran through the stop light going the opposite direction I was going). The cars bounced off each other (air bags, etc...).

    The VW came to a stop when it hit the car sitting in the turn lane (brand new Lexus IS350).

    The Benz...bounced off the Toureg, came across the intersection, missed the first car in my lane (waiting for the light at the cross-walk line), bounced off the curb, SLAMMED into my passenger side door (caving it in), and finally stopping at the bumper of the 2006 Cadillac DTS behind me.

    I'm fine. The PGL is driveable.

    The damage:
    All on the passenger side.
    Door - scraped up and dented to hell (caved in but not into the cabin - just the outer skin).
    Runner under the door - same as the door.
    Rear quarter panel - a couple of scratches.
    Rear bumper - Marked up and possibly scratched.
    At the scene:
    VW Toureg that got slammed into by the Mercedes benz S500:


    Mercedes Benz S500 That ran through the red light, plowed into the VW, and careened into my PGL:

    Damn Todd that is horrible! And you just had the motor replaced....


    The rocker panel damage will total the car, unfortunately...buy it back dirt cheap and go Stacey on it, I say. With the ins. money you can put in a cage and safety equipment...but damn.


    Good thing it wasn't the Z, but dude....that just sucks the ass in a major fashion.

    Good luck with your course of choice

        I think the funny thing is that when I got hit by the Benz, my passenger side mirror basically exploded!

                      First off, how hard did the Benz hit your car? How you feeling (no sore neck or anything?)

                      secondly, consider getting a 2nd gen now (if not, just buff out the damage)

                            I knew what this was before I even opened the thread. Glad to see you weren't hurt Todd, now you just need to fix it. It doesn't look to bad. It will buff out, and will look as good as it always has.

                              sweet car. New door and body and work and it'll be fine. Go to the doctor tell them everything hurts.... fix your probe and paint it black!
