Default worst day ever!

today it was raining really hard and it was very wet outside. so going into the school parking lot today i slid into the guy in front of me. No damage at all, and it was a very light tap, but it still scared the **** out of me. so i was driving very carefully at lunch and on the way home, but on the way home i have to slam on my breaks because the guy in front of me decides to stop hard and make a left without using his blinker at all. well i look in me rear view mirror and i see this honda pilot flying behind me. i realize there is no way they are going to stop fast enough so i brace myself and BOOM! hits me doin 25. so i pull over to the side of the road thinking the worst and wow....minor paint damage on the rear bumper was it. I guess taking my foot off the break and keeping the clutch in helped a bit, but i am still really depressed because i need a new bumper and such. Seems like our cars are VERY sturdy though as in most other cars i would think that kind of hit would have torn right into my bumper and probably smashed up some other stuff. well i just thought i needed to vent cause my day sucked.

Glad you only have some minor damage that can be fixed. When i was in HS i drove into a gas pump barrier pole after a few hours of cruising ended up with a lot of damage.

Just go to Walmart and get a colorful assortment of spray cans and paint your bumper. No one will get close to you again!

Dammmmmm, sorry to hear your stang was hit, that BLOWS hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![sm=boohoo.gif] You should take some pictures so we can check it!!! I cant believe it did not demolish the rear end of that car because Ive always heard there is not much of a frame to our stangs!!!!! Im pretty sure not engaging the break helped tremendously. Im glad to hear it wasnt worse than what it could have been!!! Get some pics!!!!!

If he hit you doing 25 MPH, your car would have MAJOR damage and you would likely be in the hospital.
