Corvette gets intimate with Mercedes in morning crash

The images at left were shot this morning by Jonathan White. You can click on them to enlarge.

We don't have a lot of information on the accident other than it occurred at the corner of Skyline and Foothill roads in Ventura and that no one was hurt. But we figure the pictures kind of speak for themselves.

You are my favorite person at the Star. Thanks for the smile!

This happens quite often with vettes. But funny and dangerous. Nice E class one of the stiffest unibody's ever made for any car.

TGIF

pulling out of skyline onto Foothill right there you can see plenty of road when you look left. When you look right there's a hill that crests not too far over. You can start pulling out and a car can come over the hill, if speeding, come close to hitting you. when i heard the accident happened there this morning (and the cars were stacked) i thought for sure the t-bone was from a car traveling west on foothill.

but apparently not. that accident there looks like the mercedes pulled out right in front of the corvette.

i think i know who owns that Mercedes too...it might be the owner of a popular restaurant in town I won't mention. He lives up there and drives one of those.

The 'vette just wanted a MB hood orniment.

I really think some sort of protection should have been used !!!!!!!!

ROFLMAO!!!! OK now diet coke is coming out of my nose.

Too bad the Vette didn't have one of those nice leather front end covers! Maybe the Mercedes needs to learn about "No Glove, No Love"

"...We don't have a lot of information on the accident..."

Three cheers to the Star staff member for finally admitting it !! I believe accepting that you have a problem is the first step in a twelve step program.

They should use this a marketing tool for the Mercedes unibody.

Posted by justmeinsp on September 5, 2008 at 12:55 p.m. (Suggest removal)

so do we call the off-spring "cor-cedes" or "mer-vettes"? and would we want one?

Posted by mesantia on September 5, 2008 at 1:14 p.m. (Suggest removal)

But they were using protection...look at all that rubber!

LivinInPoorMansPV,

I think you got it backwards...or I just don't understand the "slow down " part for the Mercedes.

ha ha high-society thanks !

Nothing like some back door lovin !

Hard to blame the Vette for gettin turned on. The Benz has a nice rear bumper.

Posted by Superbad on September 5, 2008 at 1:56 p.m. (Suggest removal)

Ewww get a garage !!

The vette was ready to go...bra was already off.

So do cars use a wet car cover to clean up the oil afterwards? Just wondering.

I know gas prices are still high but come on.. This is over doing it for carpooling...

Posted by Mr_E_Man on September 5, 2008 at 2:25 p.m. (Suggest removal)

At some point I want to ask the Vette... "which feels better, the gas tank or the tail pipe?"

You think I'll get a door handle to the grill?

Posted by Latina_805 on September 5, 2008 at 2:57 p.m. (Suggest removal)

this is too funny, I much rather see this than hear about another shooting,robbery, or stabbing. And also nice to see the mediator is letting comments slide. Is it 5 yet?

Posted by LP_Estates_Mom on September 5, 2008 at 3:04 p.m. (Suggest removal)

Ditto what cruiselvr said!

Thanks to the editor/reporter responsible for this.

And I love all the comments - *please* don't delete any of them!!!!!

Now if the Mercedes can still climb the hill, they may have a commercial!
Did Chevrolet and Mercedes have a merger?

So which car was smoking afterwards?

I thought the Mercedes stopped on a dime...? (couldn't resist!)

Is this dry humping? a drive by humping?

Another headline...
MERCEDES ON TOP, CORVETTE COMES FROM BEHIND.

A drive by humping ?? Is that like a Booty Call ?? Or in this case a Bumper Call ?

Posted by AnnaWhaat on September 5, 2008 at 4:21 p.m. (Suggest removal)

mesantia ,Well yeah but its all ripped up rubber? Not a good sign.
bugmenot- part of her post or his:You can start pulling out and a car can come ?????? ROFL

I've heard of waxing a car, but not like THIS!!

And were they properly lubed per manufacturers specs?

Lastly, was this a consensual accident?

Posted by AnnaWhaat on September 5, 2008 at 4:57 p.m. (Suggest removal)

nope it was nonconsensual and with FORCE.....

Posted by kelly13 on September 5, 2008 at 5:44 p.m. (Suggest removal)

What do you mean you hoped they used protection? What do you think those airbags are for?

Posted by drissi on September 5, 2008 at 5:52 p.m. (Suggest removal)

Speaking of rubber....no skid marks. Must have been speaking instead of braking. I'm impressed that the Corvette convertible's windshield frame matched the Mercedes wheel base and held up.

hamskid ,Did you read all the jokes? Its not often we get to make each other laugh. Had there been a death we wouldn't have. Read them. They are very funny!!!!
ok I said the protection as a joke. Due to another comment about all that rubber.........which was no use. Sense of Humor. Sorry...........

Posted by kelly13 on September 5, 2008 at 7:04 p.m. (Suggest removal)

AnnaWhaat...I was trying to be funny too. Guess it didn't work. I just had a vision of the air bag coming out looking like a big condom.

How revolting and despicable - aren't the parents teaching these two to keep it inside the garage.
The insurance company is sweeling on them both. And the parents will have to pay the for the offspring. My gosh, where the cops when you need them? (i know it was lame).

You all crack me up.
