Narrative

WENT TO CHANGE A FLAT AND THE TRUNK CAME DOWN ON MY HEAD AND HAD TO GET SEVERAL STITCHES. IT SEEMS LIKE THE TRUNK ON THE SLK55 AMG WILL STAY UP FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN COLLAPSE RIGHT WHEN YOU LEAN INTO THE TRUNK TO GET THE SPARE MAKING THINGS GO FROM BAD TO WORSE A FLAT AND IN NEED OF MEDICAL ATTENTION. *TR
