Over the Christmas/New Year break I had the misfortune to get rear ended in my SLK250.
Sitting at traffic lights waiting to turn right. Lights go green for straight ahead and vehicles start moving. I am still sitting on a red light to turn right when "bang" up the rear end by a Toyota Hilux.
Getting out of the car I expected to see a wrecked rear end to the car. No, a couple of scratches where his number plate had connected with the bumper and a couple of small indentations from his bumper connecting with mine.
This really surprised me as it was quite a solid hit. I guess it would have been a 4WD instead of 2WD Hilux as there would have been a hight difference.
A couple of days at a MB authorised panel shop. New rear bumper and a bill from my insurers to him as he was uninsured for around $AU3000 and all good again.
They certainly build them tough!
