Rear ended someone
Well i was on the way home from fireworks with my girl friend caught in traffic of course, cops couldnt direct traffic for ****. Well i was just cruising with traffic wasn't tailgaiting or anything like that. Looked at my girl friend for a split second she said watch out and ended up locking the brakes up at about 10-15mph and slid right under neath a GMC jimmy. They had a few scratches on there bumper and bent there tailpipe.
I ended up underneath on the driver since i swerved, reaction i guess i dont know. Well my damage was alot worse. Hood garbage, front bumper garbage, driver fender garbage. Popped the hood and couldnt really tell since it was dark, borrowed the cops flashlight and got an idea of what i was looking at. The headlight, fog light and marker light are all destroyed along with the brackets, and the one plastic bumper support infront of the washer resovoir needs to be replaced. No leaks, no frame damage, gfx never got hit, billet grill still ok. Metal underneath the quarter untouched. HID balist is uknown condition. I got really lucky, no one was hurt or anything like that, drove the car home, drove straight as it normally did, no dummy lights, still had all the performance and steering was fine.
Car is going in on wensday to get fixed, everything minus the white stripe
