People used to talk about wrapping a car around a telephone pole, but I never thought anyone actually did it. Incidentally right below that was the ad “Need a part? Save money while supporting Car Talk.” Must be AI or something. But yeah, much good left on that one except maybe a seat or two if the frames aren’t bent. ---

off-topic looks more like a Toyota to me yes . . . I do get it Bends = Benz But that car has cloth seats and the glove box isn’t the kind that Benz use(d) You guys know me by now . . . I go off topic and stay there. I go off on tangents, etc. 😈 ---

You and Purebred got it right, IMO. It does look like a Camry Solara convertible. It’s probably an ad for a body shop. ---
