So I finally had the day off today and was detailing my 190. The interior was in bad shape due to previous cheap flaky floor mats. I had just finished the vacuuming of the drivers side when I hit a snag, the cord for the vacuuum wouldn't reach the passanger side. So instead of using an extension cord, I decided to pull the car forward. Right foot without a shoe was inside the 190, door open and the other foot with a shoe was outside to avoid a mess. I turned the key and the car moved forward...but then I realized I wasn't paying attention to the brake!

I didn't have any time to react, all I was able to see was a quick glance of the porch approaching me out the left side window. The front window had a sun guard thing blocking my entire front view. I hit the wooden barrier infront of me which was no higher then a speed bump, then found my self speeding down hill in my yard toward trees. Somehow I avoided front end damage by the porch and crushing my leg by the door hitting the porch. F-in scary!! There was a little damage though, two regular rubber jack lifts were torn off (one still usable) and two spots of the bottom coating of my 190 did show scrapings.

Anyways..pics of the detailing. My car was pulled up closer to the porch before it tried to kill me. Crazy day.

Nice job. The wheels look normal again. A good use of a day off.
