i am doing something. you say kits are retarded (some club lexus attitude there!) yet you type like you are retarded. maybe there's a reason you don't want a kit? lol.

and your car isn't too messed up there, looks like some scratches on the bumper is all.

The GS would be just as banged up or even worse had it rear ended the Mazda. Rear bumpers hold up very well while the front of cars are designed to crumble easily in absorption.
Sorry to see but at least nobody got injured.

the GS prolly has a bent rear rebar, crushed absorber, crushed cover and maybe a dented/bent end panel... chances are, the trunk doesn't quite line up properly... simple easy fix for a body shop...

mazdas fall apart when they've been hit... they're probably the worst assembled japanese car...

haha ya. once i saw she was okay i thought the whole incident was rather funny. i asked her what happened and she said she thought the "flow of traffic was moving right along." then her insurance rep asked me if there was a chance she couldn't see over my car to see if there was a line of traffic... as if there wasn't a line of traffic she could have slammed right through me anyways.

i was really only upset with myself for bracing for impact. i saw her in my rear view mirror barrelling towards me and i naturally tensed up and grabbed the wheel... at least i got some vicodin out of the deal.

the shop said the only work i'll need done is the bumper replacement and something about the floor of the trunk. i got this linocln ls rented but its so so so less gangster.

oh and please dont hate me for hating kits.. its just not my taste. big ups.
