GA TE Gilbert in car crash

[wmcovol]

Arik Gilbert, Ga TE, was involved in a car crash but uninjured. His white Mercedes Benz was totaled according to the story....

I guess NIL money for this guy, who hasnt proven to be a player yet, is ok with Herby too!

I think his parents have good jobs actually so who knows. Also, he was pretty good as a freshman at LSU, he's just had some personal problems. It's been hush hush as to what they are but the things people are usually hush hush about are either mental illness or substance abuse or both. It'll be interesting to see if he was impaired.

I hope he gets the help he needs, whatever that might be.

Same.

I am glad it sounds like he is ok, and noone was hurt.

This young man was also a can't miss player when he and Harrison Bailey were seniors at Marietta High. smdh

A used MB isn’t necessarily hard to come by at an affordable price. People love that emblem. But the resale on them seems fairly average.

Now keeping a used MB running is another matter

I think that is part of the reason for the resale values.

They and BMW have some of the biggest price decreases of all the car manufacturers.

$500 oil change, but I won’t care if I have my G Wagon.

Was going to say, you can find a decent one for 15-20k.

Every time I took mine for service it was $1k or more. Repairs are expensive so they soak you on maintenance

Good luck to Gilbert with a speedy recovery.

Had an SLK350 and once the miles got up over 50K, the repairs really started to get expensive. I think I got rid of it after something with the computer went wrong and the local German repair shop quoted several thousand for the repair. It was running, went and traded it on a 4Runner.

But it was one fun car to own and drive.

I have a late 80s SL. Great car, and built back when MB actually took pride in construction. Some parts are hard to find these days, but overall not a bad car to own.

Anything MB post 1997 or so is junk 24 months after it leaves the showroom.
