Rear Ended
« on: December 20, 2021, 23:39:31 »
On September 29th I was on my way to an all German car show in Norcross GA. I was sitting at a traffic light and was preparing to move as the light just turned green when a Jeep slammed into the back of my car. I suffered whip lash but am improving. Bud's Benz sheold be able to take care of the Pagoda in the next few weeks.  >:(

So sorry Daryl. I sincerely hope the whip lash is not a long term issue. Buds will
Get the car back into good condition.

No matter how careful you drive, there's not much you can do about other drivers

Hope you and the car are back in full working condition soon

Take care

Hello Darryl,

Very sad to hear that. It always hurts us if our beloved cars happen to be in an accident or anyhow threatened, much more than with the modern  cars.
I hope all the best for your health and also of your 230,
may it be transformed back in proper shape by Bud's.
Good luck with both of you.

All best,
Achim

That is a crying shame. So sorry to hear.
Hope the damage to both your car and you can be remedied.
