AudiOn19s Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 That's how my morning started. I'm at work with coffee in hand ready to start my day when at 7:28 am I get the following text. "I've been in a horrible accident. Not my fault. Car is fucked" Call Yasmin to make sure she's ok, remembering in the back of my mind that she told me she was taking the Mercedes to work today. So I ask...you are in the E55 right??? No, it was nice I took the turbo. :-( So she was going down 161 when someone decided to change lanes and didn't see her, caught her in the passenger door and then really hit square on the rear wheel / suspension breaking the toe link and control arm on contact. http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q192/ZainoDetail/8AD4C885-A079-41E3-A912-9F5119EABFD3_zps09olj4t6.jpg http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q192/ZainoDetail/5556A62D-BAB6-4FFA-B418-DF5DF8EFA613_zpsayqanh7w.jpg So. Not so bad right? ...cept between the impact and the broken suspension the Car spun out of control and under a semi doing some pretty serious damage. http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q192/ZainoDetail/4BF8E27B-A103-4C13-B71D-9B8AF43E2D03_zpsqloytavm.jpg http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q192/ZainoDetail/922301AE-38D8-4AE5-9E2B-97CA1F2B1262_zpslqs2pa4w.jpg Good news is the airbags and safety equipment did their job. Bad news is the car is pretty bad. I know it's just metal but I'm pretty attached to my cars. Def a bummer. She's even more pissed than I am about the car...she loves this thing. Is what it is I guess :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 SHe ok for the most part? Person who hit her stop and is insured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Take it to 3C. It will be Totaled, and you can buy a new one. :thumbup: KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Her being ok was first priority. She's a little sore in the lower back but she was squatting 185 and deadlifting 155 the night before. So tough to say gym vs accident. We will monitor and go seek attention if necessary. At fault party was insured. Car is at Achbach in good hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Glad she's ok, Andy. I was in the traffic from the accident. Changed routes before getting the the scene. Last year my wife was in an early morning accent. That call was miserable. Again, just glad the wife is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even know she was your Yasmin until today when Gabe told me "Andy's wife..." and I put 2 and 2 together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC K9 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Glad she is ok, man. Having been through two of those situations myself, ibunderstand the frustration about the car, but in the end, she is ok and as Patterson said, cars are replaceable.
