RE: REAR ENDED
that really sucks. I cannot stand ****ty drivers...If someone hit me, I'd get out and ask if they were ok. If they said yes, I'd knock the crap out of them, then ask, "how about now"...If they weren't, I'd still knock the crap out of them....What is the cost of damage Luke? Good luck with the repairs man....

RE: REAR ENDED
Fock that... I leave myself tons of room and try to pay attention so I can move.....I have butt pucker in that kind of traffic.
On our way to chitown a few weeks ago my buddy was driving his GTO when I saw a car suddenly whip out of the line towards the ditch...immediately I yelled 'brake NOW'. Just as I all the brake lights in front of us just went on and we ended up getting stopped about 4 car lengths away from the nearest car (factory PBRs rock)...
That kind of stuff just makes me nervous to be sitting in traffic with no where to go.... Bah..

RE: REAR ENDED
I know what you mean. Once you drive around in traffic long enough, you get used to it. These das, if there is dead traffic on the highway, I stay at least 3 cars away from the guy in front of me and constantly brake check the morons behind me. My GF hates it, but, she knows that I am a very aggressive driver, and don't like to be messed with. Besides, most people see your car, and realize it is a muscle car, and sometimes tend not to screw with you.... The GTO's have awesome brakes. I like the S197 Brakes too, for factory stuff, you cannot go wrong with near 13 inch brakes. That is enough for me...

RE: REAR ENDED
rental cars are so much fun. a generally POS car that you can beat the **** out of, consequence free, for a week or so. enjoy the cold-start redline revs and the transmission-shattering neutral drops! sucks that you got rear ended.
