Default NOT a POLE

She hit a FJ Cruiser with a tow hitch at a red light...(She swears she was not texting)
The hitch caused most of the damage...
GS took all the damage my gf was fine..

Damn bro. Thank God your alive and well. That truly was a gorgeous ride. At least you have life and health. With that by you're side, you'll be able to ride 100 more just like that ride . Good luck, God bless!

Thanks for the well wishes guys. After almost a week with the CLS, I really have been enjoying this car. Still miss my Lex, but getting a little easier now that I have something else to focus on.

Grill was RMM

Not terrible, but it did push some areas in when it slid into some small trees and bushes. Luckily, it missed my roof spoiler.

I am very happy to hear you're alright and back on your feet. How fast were you, if you don't mind my asking? I am scare of flat tires during highway speeding. You can always find another car, but can't replace your soul.

Going just under 50 on a two lane road that was perfectly straight. Once the tie rod broke the car had no steering and went straight into the ditch.

Decided to give you guys an update on my CLS. I have gotten a few of my mods complete and decided to snap a couple of pictures this morning. The lighting is not the best, but you can get an idea of what she looks like. Hopefully, she will be a worthy replacement for the GS.

Mods:

Mods:
Clear side markers
Airride air links (lowered 2 ½” front and 2” rear)
Complete LED conversion on exterior lights (parking lights, license plate, ect.)
5000K HID
AMG chrome door handle inserts
AMG trunk spoiler
Lorinser roof spoiler
Calipers redone in Black
Incurve 20x9 & 20x10.5 wheels

How she sits now:







Definitely going to have to get wider tires as my 245/275's I had on my Lexus are stretched due to the wider wheels. Will probably go 255/305 when these tires wear out. Overall, loving the car and really happy so far.
