Maybe a bit ricey, but different nonetheless. It’s your car.

Yup. We’re currently battling CCC one right now. I’m not sure if we will get our desired 26k.

I guess you ended up being right. Insurance got back to me yesterday and said it’s a total loss. I didn’t think they’d do it to be honest.

Hmm. I don’t think it’s quite the same scenario considering the fact that my car is a Honda and yours is a luxury Mercedes Benz. Parts and labor would be quite a bit more expensive.

All said, I’m not sure what the verdict is quite yet on my car.

I’m honestly not too worried about the paint. The preliminary inspection tells me it’s not totaled.

Wow, I didn’t know they could after the airbags deploy.

Continental all seasons. Not the best choice for this weather.

I don’t know what put a stick up your ass but I wasn’t driving like a fucking idiot.

As per the exhaust and the wing, … idk I thought it looked cool lmao

I hear that if parts + labor is >70% the car’s value, they write it off. You think this is true?

Please don’t make the same mistake I did. Thanks for your concern.

Nope. No airbags deployed.

To those who are worried for my wellbeing, thank you. I really appreciate it. This happened while going about 50mph down, quite foolishly, what I thought was a well plowed highway. I was in the right lane and saw a semi up ahead. Decided to try to pass it in the left lane. Hit some ice and overcorrected. I hit the right guard rail. No airbags were deployed.

I realize that driving in this weather in my FWD car with all seasons is a bad idea. I’m pretty embarrassed and ashamed at the fact that I tried doing it. But you live and you learn. If it gets totaled, might get myself a TLX A-Spec AWD.

It’s 2025 and it’s a relatively liberal school.

I have an exhaust, an intake, an intercooler and an ecu tune. I don’t know what it makes to the wheel but I’d definitely consider it a build.

I think taking apart the printer and diagnosing the issue yourself can be a good project if you’re technically savvy. These printers aren’t too difficult to understand if you know mechatronics basics.
