So I was driving down the La Cienega Blvd;
Was cruising around 30-35 mph, enjoying the day. In front of me there was a Volvo Xc60 3.2. I didn't keep safe distance between her and my car, and for some reason she hardstopped (there were no cars in front of her, so not sure why would she need to hardstop in the middle of the street). I rear-ended her.:(
Air-bags did not deploy but the front bumper is f**ked. 100% my fault and that is what makes me feel terrible.
Damage on her car is minimal as far as I can see.

Hope you get it all fixed.

I wasn't that close to her, maybe somewhere around 10 feet behind. Got distracted for a second and bam.

My first accident ever and I feel like shit now.

heRS · 11-13-2012, 06:37 PM

bummer. It doesn't take much, does it. Hope it all gets fixed soon.

Sorry for the mishap, but you owned up to it and stated you were distracted. A good driving record requires to have a constant awareness to your surroundings. Chalk this up as a valuable lesson.

I will ask them to upgrade it to ZL1 as well. heh.
They told me the different bumper might not fit. Is it true?

It needs a couple tweaks. Obviously, it can be done.

The body shop never mentioned any problem about the fitting. They're just waiting for the freaking seat belt to come so they can set the air bag. I really missed my car terribly but few more days to wait.
