I would say no Benz between 1995 and 2007 is worth adding to the stable.I

I got hit square in the driver's door by a Chevy 3500 series van

at the seat back, full impact to up to the front of the car.
I walked away -- slightly crooked, but walking.

Glad you are okay. Sure sucks about the car though. Big SUV vs.
Midsized car isn't much of a contest. Glad the MBs were pioneers in
safety. Same thing happened to another lister a while back. Same

My two cents as well for Wiltons full recovery both personally and carwise.
Wilton is bound to have a sore neck (whiplash) and he should definitely mention
that to the doctor he sees. Whiplash can often cause severe symptoms much
later.
Also, insurors pay very close attention to spinal injuri

SUVs always have green lights, that's why people buy them. Absolute
right of way, and the faster you go in an unstable topheavy one the
better. They also reduce IQ by at least ten points.
