Thank you Gruppe-S no thank you girl on 880

So Gruppe-S installed a VF30 and supporting mods for me today. And Mike got it to put down 245hp, I am pleased. Heading home within ten minutes on S880 by the Fremont Automall traffic suddenly stops. I stop, quick but nothing scary. Look up, and was like on no, you are going to hit me... you are going to hit me.... you are going ...then crash. A girl maybe 18 at most in a Camry slams me into a PT Cruiser. Road in a tow truck home. Sucks having a few seconds knowing it will happen and have no where to go. And what is with all these accidents posting lately on this freeway?

I'm really sorry to hear about your car. I know exactly what you mean about knowing your car is about to be badly hurt. Been in that situation.

Seriously, go get checked out by a Chiropractor for whiplash. I got a year's worth of free visits on my car insurance!

Still in shock a bit. I know I tensed up a lot cause I saw it coming. My shin is scraped up from the bottom of the dash. Try to get pics up tomorrow. Both bumbers, hood, trunk, rear fender are jacked. Headlights outta wack, started having a coolant leak. CHP and I looked at it and thougth it was driveable, beasue after 45 there wasn't a leak and it sounded good. Oil light came on after 5 miles so I shut her down and towed it home. That is when the coolant leak appeared. Hope the engine is good. No bad noises when I turned it off, and it didn't do anything abnormal.

sorry about your accident. I've gotten rear ended before so I know how you feel. I hope you are in a better situation than me. the driver hit me had no insurance and license. thank God that I called the CHP and insurance company right the way.

what the hell has been going on lately man!?! It hasn't even start raining yet. It makes me don't want to leave my house during the first week of rain, until those idiots finish killing each other.

I think we know the moral to this story. Women should never be given a driver's lisence. Haha!

I had a 16 yr old girl on her birthday come straight from passing her driving test at the DMV to run her 4runner into my parked m3 (POS RIP) in a parking lot. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Seriously you can be the best driver in the world but its the other idiots out there running into things.

Yeah, I'm always afraid of someone rear ending me on the freeway when the traffic stops and people don't notice. I usually just leave a whooooooole lotta room infront of me and try not to brake suddenly, i tap my brakes a lot so they know to watch out. Yeah, you can be a good driver but you can't help other sutpid drivers.
