it was very "ironic". I had a few touchups I wanted to do on the Lex. I went by a bodyshop that a few friends opened up (we used to have our bodyshop together). I had them check out the stuff I wanted done, told them I'd drop it off on Monday, then headed home. On a right turning lane at a stop light, a girl in front of me looks...its clear...she goes, I go...she stops...BAM! My fault cause I rear ended her. My wife wasn't happy because its her car, $1200 for the bumper alone.

Oh man, sorry to see this happen, but I'm glad you're ok. Hopefully you didn't hit hard enough to set off the airbag, cuz at that low a speed, it would have done more harm than good.

I have done the exact same thing before...nailed the back of a Mustang with my Camry. I guess things lined up right - styrofoam to styrofoam- and there was no damage.

Glad you're alright.
