Diesel RVs: Re: [diesel_mercedes] Agnes is gone.

The MB did what it was supposed to do, save the people inside.
Our old Volvo 240 had the same fate in January, while saving my wife's life.

Glad to hear your daughter's OK, beside the fibula break.

Start looking up and documenting comparisons for Ins, as they'll try to
low ball you, from the start.
