I just thought I'd share with you all to vent. It was a rough week for the GS last week. First the run flat hit a pot hole and popped. Had just gotten new tires and this one had less that 400 miles on it! And this was just the beginning...

Then two days later on the way home from the gym this happened...

Traffic on the freeway came to a stop, but obviously the Prelude behind me was a little slow to stop. Needless to say, it was a rough week for the GS. Tomorrow she goes into the shop...but sadly her paint will never match again.

yup...you guys are all right, it could have been much worse...it's just more frustrating than anything. i am impressed at how well the bumper absorbed the impact though considering how hard i got hit. i'll find out in a few hours if the frame is ok.
