    As a trucker who worked through covid driving all over the country I can say they didn't relax the regulations. What happened was they pretty much closed all the scales and had less officers patrolling the road. Which means if a trucker is still running paper logs he has a FAR less chance of getting caught cooking his book. So the trucker probably was running very illegally and so he was tired and paid the price when he hit the Mercedes on the shoulder.

      Came to a gentle stop
      Thank you Toyota corporation and my 2 surgeons

    Let me understand something. Your dealership crashed a customer car during a test drive, then you essentially pressure the car owner into a deal before he finds out about the wrecked car because this'll out you at a disadvantage from a negotiating position?

    I think it's the first time I see Ficarra mess up a story... the Excelero was made to test the 23" Fulda tyres at 350 km/h (that's why that size of wheels), and did it in thee south of italy, on the circuit of Nardò.

    That Mercedes is for sure repairable. It would cost somewhere between 15-25k. If you had connections with people in the collision repair industry you could get An estimator at a shop who has a direct repair contract with whoever the insurance company is to help you out. Depending on the value of the car it might not really total anyway, but let’s assume it would. If it would actually take 25k to repair the car, but 20 would put it over threshold of totalling then The estimator could write an estimate for 19,500. You could decide to “not get it repaired” and take the 19.5k. The insurance would issue a check for 19,500 and you could come out of pocket the other 5500 for the repair. That way you would still have a clean title and your car would get fixed.👍
