Unhappy So I rear ended someone - NO INJURIES!!!!

So he slammed on his breaks and I hit him. I know what you are going to say but I was paying attention.

Before ( When I took her home 3 months ago) and after pix attached.

In case you wonder how the Air Bag feels all I can remember is it feeling like a pillow. Windshield got cracked prolly by my hand. Radiator gone. Grille Gone.

Still fires up sounds like she did when new (Cop had me drive to the curb)

Other than everything around them NO damage to Headlights / Turn Signals / Fog Lights

I guess whe the Body shop open tomorrow I will have a better Idea what will happen to my baby and how much it will cost me.

Maybe paying attention but obviously following too close or going too fast. I've been there a few times when I young.

That hurts. Glad you're o.k. The HHR looks like an easy fix. Hood, grille and some paint. Nothing insurance can't handle.

Drivers slam on the brakes all the time. If you're too close or going too fast, no matter how much attention you're giving, the HHR will not stop in time. The tiny rotors and those ridiculous drums are undersized for the HHR. My
