So I finally get a chance to take a vacation. Me and the girl left Columbia, SC headed to St. Augustine, FL. Check out the old town and fort and proceed to our final destination of Key Largo. Get down to Miami and hit rush hour traffic. It's a 70mph zone but everyone is doing about 45mph with a little stop and go. Now, there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to be weaving in and out of traffic and driving like a jackass. WE ARE ALL GOING THE SAME SPEED, SLOW!
I noticed this idiot in a Chevy Sonic weaving in and out trying to get one car ahead constantly. He pulls off to the right and ends up behind me. I think "Great he's gone away now". The very next time traffic stops, I look in my rear view to see him bearing down on me. WHAM! Rear ends my beautiful and clean 2000 GS300. A string of obscenities spews forth from my mouth. Even my GF starts in on the adult language. Every part of the trip and been smooth sailing until about 40 miles north of Miami and then everyone drives like a lunatic. Get out of the car (luckily no one is injured) notice only a scuffed up bumper. Think well maybe it sounded worse that it was. Pop the trunk to make sure would open. It did but then wouldn't close. Uh oh. Then noticed the left quarter panel had buckled pushing in to the rear door. The right rear door was contacting the right quarter panel also. I was so pissed in that 100 degree heat. Luckily the car was driveable so we continued our vacation and drove it home. Although I was in a bad mood the whole time. Sorta puts a damper on a vacation. Pics to follow.

See, doesn't really look that bad but cause damage to the frame rails in the trunk. Also any hit that buckles a quarter panel can't be good. I guess my RX330 projectors and HID bracket kit will be up for sale soon.
