Making a left turn, lady not paying attention, slick roads, lock up brakes and there you go classic rear-end. I tried to drive away before she got to me but she was moving way too fast. I am going to post pictures when I get home. My bumper and left muffler are hanging. I think there is some frame damage under the bumper. Almost two years and only a few scratches.

Sounds like you got tagged pretty good. From the circumstances, she and her insurance company should be responsible and cover it all. (Hopefully, she was insured.)

6 times in 2 years for us - and that's just the rear-enders - but three of those were in a rental car, and we only got the TSX is March 06, so I know I'm living on borrowed time.
I've heard it all... "my foot slipped off the clutch ", "... off the brake", "... I didn't think you were going to stop at that stop sign even though you completely stopped at the three before it!!!!" On the last one I'd heard the guy lock-up his brakes, and I got off the brake, and booted it, so I only needed a new bumper, and not a hospital. My bodywork friend said that maybe I was driving too slow, so ... now I have a TSX.

Here are some pictures. I am taking it to get the damage estimate tomorrow. It seems minor but I suspect that it will be a different story once the bumper comes off.

Sorry about the accident dude.
Yup, wait until they take the bumper off and see the rear body panel. Probably need a new impact absorber, they should pay for a new resonator, possibly a new reinforcement bar, possibly some sway bar damage, trunk lid looks like it was affected, not sure how you bumper looks in comparison to the quarter but the shop should get at least 4 hours for set up and measure and pull to align the frame, etc. Yeah, I write esitmates for a living.
