My son rear ended a Mercedes... with his box sprite... Kinda a shame.. it
was the one we went through 11 countries in Europe in.... brought it home
and restored it... he called me and was scared I would be upset....
Not at all... even the littlest bit.... I can buy another Sprite... He was
fine... Less a little head bump on the windshield....
