Got rear-ended Saturday night/Sunday morning... (big pics)

So I didn't really feel like doing the write up that I promised everyone this weekend, but I'm sure you can understand... I will do it whenever my car is fixed.


Anyways I got rear-ended by someone in a '96 Acura Integra, not just a tap but a slam. This person hit me so hard that both of the airbags in their car went off. Traffic was at a dead stop and about 15-20 seconds after I came to a stop I felt/heard the slam. No attempt to to break was made by the other party involved. In short, I am very pleased with how "well" my car did in this event.


Pics: (sorry if any are blurry, I was a little pissed taking these pics)

Your pics are way too big. You can tell the damage but not really know what I mean? Downsize a bit and get some whole car pics.

None the less man... hate to see this but good thing for insurance.

The damege seems like very minimal according to the hit you described! Seems like change the bumber, alight the trunck and you're set! Did the frame move at all? He probably hit that crash bar pretty hard on your car!
