Sorry to hear that Kamron Get your back/neck checked out asap.

Hope the car isn't too bad.


I'm glad to hear you're likely all right, but you definitely want to get the spine checked out as soon as you can.

Once you have the right tools, it's no problem. I will say that I have yet to strip a allen or torx head, and (unfortunately) I can't say the same thing regarding a phillips, flat, or standard hex bolt.
Stripped two torx already. Ended up hammering one of the allen keys into it and luckily got em out.

Thanks guys, but I'm fine, I'm pretty sure the car is too other than some dirt and light scratches (there was already some light scratches on the rear bumper before this - I think from someone backing into my car when parked and then driving off; so, it's hard to distinguish anyway).

Got rear-ended and pushed out into an intersection at a stop light on my way home from work. I was lucky that traffic coming the other way missed me. To my surprise, my car seems unharmed; although, my back does feel a little sore. Audi's are tanks.
Yikes. Glad to hear you're okay!

Geographically, yes. Otherwise, no!

Well then perhaps YOU should pick on someone YOUR own size.
