Default Re: Those of us who own Mercedes thank you for your thoughts.

I think Mercedes can handle the bad press, lets spread the `wealth` around. It is amazing to me, how people can take innocent comments and turn them around to flame others.

It wasn't a flame, and the post was thoughtless. (eom)

The "who cares" comment certainly comes across as being cold and insensitive

I propose to close this subject. It's a shame I can't defend myself because my post has been deleted

Default The car was a RennTech V12

Appartently he was traveling at 170mph + when the car went airborne, end-over-end and skidded about 300 yards and burst into flames.

Really makes you wonder about tuner cars built to those extremes. Not like Renn-Tech has a wind tunnel at their easy disposal and can test body kits for high-speeds. Plus no roll-cage either... crazy.

It's a damn shame and a big loss.
