I've seen some really bad pictures of cars getting sandwiched between semis
That is why I was about to bail. Once the front hit and started to crumple I was going to jump out. It was a rental so I could have enjoyed watching the destruction

I was driving down my street the other night, and I had to break pretty hard because of a dog in the road. The guy behind me wasnt paying attention and hit my back bumper. I was pretty pissed considering he was about 10-20 yards behind methe last timei checked my rear view mirror. To my surprise there really wasnt anything wrong, a couple paint chips but that was it. Good to hear you are okay though, seems to have worked out for both of us.

Guesss the back is strong. When I rear ended like a sebring or 300 M it totaled the front of my car, right in front of the rims. Also andpto, why is he only going to pay 50%, I'd make him pay all of it. Also the Florida drivers maybe... that is where my dad taught me how to drive when I was in like fifth grade.

So you are going to have the back bumper repainted anyways so he'll pay half of that.

A Semi almost ran me into a guard rail. I was merging, and the semi sped up and then slowed to my speed while I was merging, and the turn in is too short to catch up and he almost planted me in the guard rail (that and the Truck behind me was riding my a**). I hit the brakes and had to swerve off the road to avoid going off the cliff BEHIND THE GUARD RAIL!!!

Those kids were stupid. 100+ in a turn and they have the narrow stock tires and the whole thing was stock. Ugly crash though.
