Default At Least It Wasn't an S

This is what happens when a lady forgets how to brake. The skid marks were 30 feet. I am alright other than a sore neck. But nothing that the vicodin can't help

45mph? Crap! Good job she didn't do more damage - trust your neck will be OK.

Between you & Nick, we don't need any more of these threads.

Glad you weren't hurt any worse. I still cringe when traffic comes to a sudden stop from an accident we were involved in back 92. Still feeling it in the back too.
What's the white stuff on the bumper.... can't be dirt can it?

Duane came within 4" of being rear ended on 70 West at Mid Rivers tonite on his way to pick me up after work!

What the hell is wrong with people....is it the time of the year to rear end someone? Give the gift that keeps on giving, or keeps you going to the chiropractor I am glad that was not your S2000 Jimmi. I cant bring myself to post pictures of mine right now. I hope you will be ok.

Lucky for me the tow hitch was below her bumper. The tow hitch is welded into the frame to make the vehicle stiffer. Looks like the frame is ok and everything is cosmetic. I am taking it in this morning to get the estiate done. The white stuf. Is dirt from here car . I also have a little green paint as an accent.

Neck feels ok this morning. A little sore but nothing horrible or unexpected.

Holy crap.... Like mentioned above, happy it wasn't the S and you were not hurt to bad considering. Hope the insurance process goes well for you, sometimes the headache of dealing with insurance is worse than the accident itself.

We need to institute some kind of mandatory jail time for these careless accidents. I bet if some of these people had to spend 48 hours in lockup after a careless accident people would be a lot more attentive and many lives would be saved.
