Well...it happened. Luckily, motorist was insured. Just asking the CL Group for recommendations on what to make sure gets fixed i.e. bumper, alignment, convertible top, my aching back, my pain in the neck, etc.

be sure to have your doctor orders up an MIR for you.
be sure that your cervical area was not messed up.
whiplash can seem benign at first, causing lasting pain and dr. visits years later.
at that point, you have no recourse.

Sorry about your accident. Hopefully, there will be no lasting negative physical effect to you.

The SC can be repaired. But, my experience has been that once my car has been damaged in an accident, I seem to lose that euphoric feeling I originally had about it.

Good luck to you for your health and for the repair.

Two days ago a guy in NJ got his front end smashed, car could be totaled, now you get it in the rear end, is something in the water?? Good Luck and tell your insurance company to go after the guy for all your medical and rehab fees!!

Last night, I had my back right wheel come loose, for some reason all the lugnuts were loose, and it took me a while to find out what was making the noise... I shouldnt drive for a little while

i almost ate it about a month ago. i was exiting the highway at night and thought it exited straight. but it was a sharp 180 degree turn. which was difficult to execute at 80 mph. i slid a little. but managed to keep it out of the guardrail. i don't think i would have had a chance if i'd been running stock suspension and wheels.

Arrrgh!!!

Seems like hunting season for the SC430.

Everyone seems like they got hit with the top up. That's a good thing...

Hurts viewing this thread. Sorry to see, but at least you get a kit on it now.

how hard did he hit you anyway? i thought about auto couture bumpers. but the fiberglass kinda scared me. i wouldn't think it could take much of a bump without cracking.
