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..

Yes, the factory PBR's do rock. However, I've noticed that while it stops much better than the car in front of you. Thus you not hitting them, it also stops much faster than the car behind you too. [&:]

True, the whole time we were coming to a stop we watched the guy behind us having a panick attack trying to get his SUV stopped... luckily we left a lot of room in front of us. LOL

RE: REAR ENDED

Insurance absolutely covers aftermarket parts. If the part is on the car and it's damaged, then it's covered. Like a bodykit, or exhaust...They cover it. The insurance company doesn't care. They have to replace the part anyway, and it's usually cheaper than a factory part to begin with.

np man, I am glad everything is going smoothly for you and your not getting crap for all of this. I bet you cannot wait to get back into your baby and leave some tread here and there.

drivin to my first day of classes today for college- about 7:30 sitting at a stop light in bumper to bumper traffic- rear ended by an older guy in a white impala.[:@]my babys gonna need a new bumper, quarter panel and exhaust, dropped her off at the body shop, and miss her already

o and the reason i posted in here is cause i usually hang around the s/s section and post here the most. thanks for listening.

get a lawyer NOW for free and see a chiropractor, you will get alot of money this way, just going for a few visits a month! money in your pocket and your car fixed, you could have a whiplash that may have consequences later in life as well.[:'(]
