My wife was driving home from work Monday night and got rear ended, BAD! She stopped on I-70 for a backup (at one of the usual spots) and the person behind her didn't see her stopped and hit her, at what the other driver said was probably the posted speed (65mph !) Good news is that Shannon (wife) has no serious injuries, nor does anyone else involved. Bad news is that Shannon is really sore, bruised, and upset. Link to pics of car:

So far their insurance company (USAA) has talked the talk, we'll see if they walk the walk. Hopefully it doesn't turn into a long drawn out exercise in stupidity. Seems to be the season for rear end collisions, eerily similar to AndyJ's situation. |

VERY glad your wife is OK. This time of year it seems people REALLY begin to suck at driving.....or maybe they sucked all year long, and the rain just "helps" them over the line.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
The good news is that the totalling of the BigMoneyWaste SAVED you from the constant mental and financial ANGUISH of owning a BigMoneyWaste after the newness has worn off--you mentioned that you wanted to keep it long term. In the case of my BigMoneyWaste, there was NEVER any newness in it to wear off...... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) |

After ~ 30K miles in our possession it hadn't needed anything but routine maintenance. |
