Traveling south on 68 towards 40 to go over to Flow for an EML light and Service Engine thing (whole other issue)... My wife was following me, we pulled in the right turn lane to get on 40 and traffic came to a stop. Guy behind her tried to stop but slid in the rain. Popped her car pretty good knocking her tail lights out and hurting her back and thus knocking her into me. My rear bumper is pretty banged up and my exhaust is bent... Don't know if there's anything beyond that. Guess I'll be getting this fixed before the intake goes on and definately before the Mabry Mill trip. :( Just wanted to share...

Thanks much. I think all will be fine in the end. Looks like my Sat. afternoon will be free if you still wanted to get that radio. :D

Thanks for the sympathy. I'm taking it to my body shop Monday to find out what the real damages are...

Did you get hit in the front or back? I'm thinking I'm going to need the most work to my exhaust but I don't know how much.

Could get it back as soon as today. The adjuster was away til today and he had to look at the exhaust again before they would replace it. He's now seen it and it's being replaced as I type. Just not sure how long it's going to take. I should definately have the car back by tomorrow though. :D

Got it back yesterday afternoon and all's well. Except the stuff that was wrong with it to begin with. Gonna hopefully get it all straightened around before the Mabry Mill trip! :D
