    27 days after I bought my SRT, 3 days after I bought my Zoomers, I get rear ended by a European immigrant without insurance. Nothing special tho, rain, 10mph traffic, he slid, minor damage but he made my exhaust crooked wah, which then melted part of my bumper, and he scratched and dinged the bumper up a bit :cry:

    1 year, 2 months, 1 day later, nailed again. :furious: I stopped, Thank you MR. Brembo. The cute Taiwanese girl behind me, she stopped. The kid behind her? Not so much. So he smacked her, she smacked me, Mr. Brembo saved my grill from the metal truck bumper in front of me at mid-grill level :towel: Damage isn't too bad; Trunk wont unlock, my SRTFIED plate and SRT8 frame are toast :) bumper needs replacing and is a little mangled, but is structurally ok, sensors still work, isn't falling off.

    Irony is, the poor kid who hit the girl lives 200 feet away from me, shares a backyard with my across the street neighbors. Accident was over 6 miles away on the freeway home. Go figure.

    cars heal!

    Yeah, that's what I told the kid who felt hella bad laf. At worst, I get to replace my Zoomers and try out the Borlas. Hahaha, I was on the U-Connect handsfree talking to my GF when I stopped hard and said Oh crap don't hit me don't hit me! Soon as I got hit and before the car stopped rocking I shouted, 'Woo hoo, I get new exhaust!'

    Bahaha. :cheers:

    Geez Brian, I think it's time to go to Kragen's and buy a bunch of stick-on reflectors and put them all over your trunk.

    I've been really lucky with the 300 (knock knock knock). When I had my Dodge Ram Quad-Cab, I got rear ended 3 times in less than 3 years.
