British driver wrecks a $650,000 Mercedes
I always wondered if those valet parking guys ever crash people's cars. They must, right? Kind of like this poor guy...According to the Daily Mail, A British delivery driver for a car rental company wrecked a rare Mercedes-Benz worth more than $650,000 on Friday. He was driving the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren to a London drop-off when an 18-wheel truck ripped off the front end of the car. He says he was "creeping along in this very narrow lane and the power steering was very hard at such low speed and he couldn't turn."
The driver said he was only two minutes from his destination when the accident took place and estimates repairs could cost about $100,000. The Mercedes is the most notable car the rental company offers and was being repaired by engineers at the McLaren workshop in Weybridge, England.
The driver says he feels awful. I bet.[via UPI]
