Even if you tried, we doubt that you could do what Pauline Grodski from Melbourne, Australia, did with her Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Ms Grodski reportedly lost control of her luxury sedan near her home in Malvern as she was... reaching for her lunchbox. As you can see in the picture above, Ms Grodski's carelessness -and that's an understatement- ended with her car hovering on two wheels astride a neighbor's parked Holden Astra sedan. Luckily, no one was injured in the incident.

First Look: Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss
The Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss can accelerate to 62 mph in 3.5 sec. It’s capable of 217 mph. So what, you say. Those numbers have become standard supercar fare. The Ferrari Enzo can touch 225 mph. The Corvette ZR1 barrels to 60 mph in 3.3 sec. Ah, but here’s the twist — this SLR does its thing without roof, windows, and windshield.
Envision the wind buffeting you mercilessly at 150 mph or how a bug or rock would feel hitting you at that speed. That’s the Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss sensation. It’s a car created as a tribute to the man crazy enough to drive a Formula 1-based car 1000 miles flat out at an average speed of nearly 100 mph — all with little more than an open-face helmet and goggles protecting him from the violently onrushing air and debris.

Now the first prototype for Mercedes’ next-generation CLS has been spotted, revealing a few subtle clues about the new model (previously we saw a test-mule disguised under the sheet metal of the current model). The new car is expected to be launched in late 2010 as a 2011 model, and positioned more upmarket to bring it in line with some of its more premium rivals. This will also allow Mercedes to introduce a second four-door coupe model, rumored to be based on its next-generation small car platform.
