I had a Mercedes m class made during that time period. It was a horrible experience.

 

wow thank you all for the great feedback. Put me back into my place.

I think i might go with a ls430, might even go with a 98-00 ls400 so i can get those clear headlights and all the airbags i would like. as for styling. neither the ls430 nor the s class's front ends really float my boat. im not too fond of the headlights. but i do like the size of them and the ride quality. both of them have a lot of potential for how i like my cars to look.

now i just have to play the waiting game with the police department to release the police report on my accident so the insurance will pay for my car. Oh so much fun... and then i can start my search for a car after that....oh so much more fun. it took me 3 months to find the perfect ls400 for me and this time around i dont have the luxury of an extra car.

 

GREAT thread...
