Default Just Dyno'd the Car....and Got Rear-ended

Okay for those of you that know me yeah I know . I just not to long ago met with 'kevs98GS4' at Allspeed to dyno our cars with his added TM plugs and Akimoto Intake and my S&S headers when this happened.

I was getting ready for my sons school camping weekend, when I decided to go get my clothes from the dry cleaners. On the way home I come to the 'Yield' sign and stop to make sure that traffic is clear on the major state road/highway. A white Cherokee Larado stops behind me, I look and I see an opening in the traffic. I look again at the opening to make sure it's still an opening and decide to catch the next one because it looked safer. That's when BAAAANG I get hit. I'm thinking someone hit the jeep and the Jeep got pushed into me. I look and there is no one behind her; I'm like WT@! . I pull out and over on the sholder and I'm PISSED.

Okay here are some pics, what do you guys think? The cop saaid it was an open and shut case. She also said it was her fault...no freaking duh.

Last one. Man I'm pissed I was supposed to go to the drag-races tomorrow too and a car show. The car still drives fine; I'm glad it was at such low speeds (5+); remember it was from a dead stop traveling about 4 to 5ft.

I just got a new pc and the original pics sizes are huge; I can't find that resizing thread either.

wow...sorry to hear man... Something about SUV's and you don't get along. At least you're not too hurt...although whiplash is no joke and I'm sure you'll be feeling it in the morning

All this and no dyno numbers? stop teasing us!!

jk. Bad luck I tell ya. Just when you've put so much time and money into your car, a careless driver hits you from behind and all that time is lost.
