good stuff to know.


and a very good reason why i never trust people approaching behind me, i always give myself some room ahead and keep an eye on the drivers approaching from behind me.
Anytime I am stopped I keep an eye in the mirror for cars coming up from behind. Especially if something happens in front of me and I have to hit the binders, never know if the guy behind is paying attention or has the ability to stop.

I do have to give GM credit though...for as much bitching as we did about the location of the reverse lights, they've help up fairly well in these rear-end collisions.

Looks like possible early retirement for that one.

There are about 12 total on the roads in the US and I think 8 have been hit!
If they want to see the inside of the Camaro, they are going the wrong way about it.

That's no reason to run into a Camaro. And with UWs program, they need Joe Montana in his prime playing for them!

Firestone_SS, I hope you come through this OK, and you can get your baby back on the road, soon. I hope to see you at some of the Chevy and Camaro shows/events coming up.

This is why your lender demands full coverage on the car, and why GAP insurance is a great idea

Hope your Camaro is back at 100% very soon!

Sorry this had to happen to do, guy, but at least:

- No One was hurt.
- That idiot's car suffered alot more damage than yours did.
- Your Insurance rates probably won't go up (his just went up 500%!)
- Everyone feels sorry for you and your car - no one gives a rats ass for his.

Sue for injury and for the wait for a new bumper. It is clear that this is a new car, and that kid will get off with a slap on the wrist while you wait for parts to become available. Call your lawyer.

Sad.
But it can be made as good as new again.
As to your point of WA drivers being the worst; nah, it's a tie between NJ and NY.
The State flower, for each, coincidentally is 'The Crumpled Sheet-Metal'. (any color)

Fix the title! It should be "Honda drivers suck!" It seems that for every ten bad drivers you see, at least eight of them are in some POS japanese car.

Interesting how that Honda hood is rolled up like a sardine can. Rear-ending a Camaro really messes up your car for some reason. It's almost like the bumper cover moves out of the way to expose some shark teeth.
