Horrible Drivers!!!

This is my first post on this forum. I have been reading through for quite some time and have learned so much, but, never felt a need to post until today. I feel it's my responsibility to share photos of my vehicle with you. I have to tell you that we own one of the finest and SAFEST vehicles ever built.

As you can see from the pics my car is totaled. I was struck on the drivers side by a Chrysler LHS....The Chrysler hit me and sent me spinning towards a huge mound of grass and dirt. My car traveled backwards for approximately 400 yards. Needless to say every airbag deployed. With the exception of a couple of minor cuts there were no injuries for either me or the passenger.

2008 M5 with less than 3000 miles on it....GONE.

Whoa! Brutal! Glad to hear all OK. Hope the geezer in the LHS had his license revoked. Another M in your future?

That is so sad, but glad to hear no one was injured. I assume you'll be replacing it with a new M5 soon.

The 'geezer' was a 71 year old woman, who insists that I hit her!!! I'll post a few pics of her car in a minute.

I got goose bumps looking at those pictures. I am glad you and your passenger made it out safe. I have to run home and hug my Beast.
