I was rear-ended last night waiting to get on a highway. The on ramp was under construction so we had no merge lane.
I was just sitting there and the goon behind me just smacked into the back. Boy this is a solid car. Only 5mph collision. Minimal damage to my car but his saturn got busted up pretty good. The shock wasn't that bad either.

I used to drive a Saturn, plastic pieces of $hit. They crumble in accidents. ALthough, I had it for 8 years and 110,000 miles before I got my S2000. The monthly payments on the Saturn(repairs only, car was bought outright 8 years ago) were close to the payments I am making on the S2000. Great uprade if I must say myself.

That chrome sleeve on the exhaust pipe can be replaced- I'd have it done as the accident was not your fault. I'd have them replace with a new bumper as well, and make sure they match the paint to your satisfaction.
Good luck.

Go to Mudgets!!!!!!!!!

They are in Westminster and they do all of the Honda's for Northwest Honda. They are an excellent company and fixed my car when I nearly totaled it. Oh, that wasn't my Stook though. Check them out they're up 795 passed Tom Mitchell's Golf course. Where do you live in O.M.? My family is still there and I just moved to L.A. not long ago. I went to O.M. high and spent most of my life in that area.

Bill:

Have the complete bumper replaced, including the inner structure. Also, have the muffler(s) replaced, since there can be hair cracks which will start to rust (if bent back). make sure you check the taillamps as well, since they can small cracks as well, leading to leaks and 'fog' in the lights.

Good luck. Fortunately nobody got hurt!
