1 month clk55, gone :'(

benzpower · 07-31-2003, 04:01 AM

Today, At 12:38 am it was official, i had lost my CLK55 AMG.

I was driving down a local freeway coming back from a friends house. Some stupid guy in this Mitsubishi didn't yield and hit my rear end and i sort of spinned around and lost control and hit a tree at around 40mph. When i got hit, I must of hit the curb or something cause my aligment was totally gone and went unbelievable. I couldn't control and went straight into a tree. I'm fine not a scratch on me, but the love of my life, my darling, my 'pretty women', my CLK, did not make it out alive. Oil and a gasoline was everywhere underneath the car. The towing guy, at 12:38, told me i lost her. I'm so upset. It has even passed a month since i picked it up from the dealership. Some stupid young kid couldn't yield. Such a shame....

sorry to hear that...glad you walked out okay.

and I can't stop myself from asking, did you take any pictures?

RJC · 07-31-2003, 07:52 PM

Jeez, so sorry, hope you can get a new one. I'm glad no one was hurt.Things could have been much much worse... one of the local Mercedes dealership girls (quite attractive and very personable) that goes over your car's controls etc upon delivery, was killed a few nights ago when she was thrown from a car, she was in her mid thirties, divorced and left two children behind

benzpower · 07-31-2003, 07:56 PM

Thats very sad, and yeah i'll post pictures soon

benzpower · 07-31-2003, 07:59 PM

sorry, no he didn't stop, he came flying with out looking back, and the other thing that really gets me upset, is tht his 20k Mitsubishi, all he has is no more then 800$ worth of damage.

lvit · 07-31-2003, 08:11 PM

Benzpower, sorry to hear that. The most important think you're fine.

Are you considering to get another one?

benzpower · 07-31-2003, 08:45 PM

Hey guys, Ya i'm fine, The kid was 16 years old, Hes young, and for the pictures my lawyer took them but i'm have to get them photo copied anyway so ill post them up soon, and as far as looking for a new car, I'm going to look into a 911 turbo, but i doubt that will happen, and i'll probulary end up with another amg.

FrankW · 07-31-2003, 09:07 PM

so did you get the guy's license plate?

Chappy · 08-01-2003, 07:55 AM

Glad you are okay. Hopefully, you'll find suitable replacement asap

sf49ers79 · 08-01-2003, 10:54 AM

man sorry that happened!!! you got full coverage insurance right?

benzpower · 08-01-2003, 02:19 PM

ya full coverage, and theres no need for his license plate, he was there til' his parents came and took him away. His insurance is going to go up like a rocket.

BenzoBoi · 08-01-2003, 05:57 PM

Even though i don't knoe you it's glad to see you alive and well. Cars can always be replaced but lives are different. Hope to see you in another amg I hope

benzpower · 08-02-2003, 12:20 AM

man this forum is really comforting

benzpower · 08-02-2003, 04:49 PM

Ok, I've come down to this, I'm not going to spend to much money on the car i'm buying now, Cause in a few months i will probulary get a e55 or s55 amg. So it looks like 2 c32's for now then i'll trade my old one in for a e55 or s55 amg.

Dr Chill · 08-03-2003, 11:28 AM

Dude, I feel your pain. At least you and the other driver are OK. Now for the next car, maybe a CLK55 Cab or E55. The S55 looks great but handles like a big car when pushed. I suspect you won't like driving it as much as the other two. The Porsche TT will be sitting your garage when you need a back seat.

I rented a SUV for 3 months between lease end and new car arrival. My MB dealer got it for me from Enterprise for cost($500/month). Sometimes it's fun to have a car you can abuse and not care about. Also, they exchanged it for a different vehicle midway just for a change of pace.

BOOHOO you will get another amg..LOL

ViKTORiOUS · 08-05-2003, 05:34 PM

Wait if he's 16, then technically he is joyriding, because in NJ they award a license to 17 year olds, which is their junior license, and award a full license to 18 year olds. So if the kid is really infact 16, then not only does his insurance go up, but he can lose his license for a LONG TIME.

Glad you're okay, and hope to see you in a new ///AMG in no time!
