A 95 Mustang hits my rear end at 45 mph; the only reason I know is that the car was crushed to where I could make out the 'stang on the tail lid. The 3 week old E sustained major rear end damage. I heard the tires scream just before impact. The belts tightend so much I could not move or breath. A voice came on from Tel-Aid and said rescue units were being dispatched. There was a very loud 'hollow' sound as the baffles in the rear took the force of impact. I felt a slight bump.
I exited the car with only the scratch of the belts across my chest because they were so tight. 4 months later I got the car back and it cost $30K to fix it. I will always own a Mercedes just based on this. Safety comes at a price and this was well worth it. |
i always value safty over money, that's why i have a benz, and a land rover
