Got hit this morning...

Never thought this would happen, but, it happened. A lady didn't see the traffic stopped ahead of her and hit me from the back going about 20mph or so. There are two small dimples and an indentation of her license plate on the lower part of the bumper. I don't see any other damages. I will have a body shop check it out and provide her the quote.

Sorry to hear that man, this is one of my fears as well. You can never trust other drivers with crappy cars. (Or any car in that matter).

there was no mention of what car the girl was driving, so how can you assume it was a crappy car? I've seen crappy drivers driving all sorts of cars.

That might be the best post in this thread yet! If I were in this situation, I would definitely give them a call.

Wouldn't mind an aftermarket bumper, but, I doubt the damage is enough to get me one.

20mph and 2 little dimples? wow... at 20mph impact my bumper would be crushed.

sorry to hear though and GL with the speedy repairs.

Why would be it be crushed? Must ECE spec I take it and not DOT which calls for a higher impact rating.

yah, maybe it's because you drive a MT and probably only was braking very light while at a stop.

anyway, i got hit from behind at a parking lot a long time ago in my old car and since then, ive been VERY paranoid about getting rear ended...

Very possible that the bump pushed me forward preventing major damage.

No it's because it's Texas.

Dig up all the accident threads and research how many are in Tx. Then research how many got rear ended by an idiot. Usually a female, blonde.
