Damn. Glad you’re alright. Time for something bigger and better.

@Shaggy

Why was anyone slowing down to be put in a hazardous situation on a damn highway???

Not your fault. You did whatever, had the 2+ second rule going assuming. The other driver did not. You win, They lose. Time for a Lsx

In all honesty, I could buy it back, sell the BMW V8, and swap in an LSx. I saw the swap on another board. Gives it M5 power for a lot less money.

I know of a really good frame guy who could pull that out.

I don’t know how. I mean, everyone else slowed down, nobody else collided with any other cars around us. My best guess is that the other driver was just not paying attention at all, has horrible reflexes, or some combination.

I looked up at my mirror after I knew I was safe not to hit the cars in front of me (like I always do) but what I saw was different than normal. Not a car with the front end dipping and slowing down, but a projectile with no chance of stopping in time.

I still had about 15 hours of driving ahead of me after that ordeal. I’ll be honest, the next few times (in the POS HHR) when traffic jammed up and everyone slowed down…it was really unnerving. That impact has a way of making you more fearful of stuff that used to be really normal.

heh, thats exactly what happened to my in the Prelude. Traffic stopped suddenly and as soon as I got stopped I looked up in the rear view and saw F-250 grille coming at me with what in a split second became obvious to me was no intention of stopping or slowing down. It took me at least a year to get over stopping short and instantly looking to the rear view and having your heart drop if you even saw there was a car in close proximity.

Yeah, I know that feeling well…the past few days all I do is check my rear-view.

Probably gonna take a long time for that feeling to go away. I got rearended a couple years ago (not even bad…no damage or anything!) and I still watch my rearview for someone who looks like they arent going to stop. Im not nearly as bad as I was, but its been like 4 years. Glad you are okay!

Sorry to see that man, I liked that car a lot.
