Rear-ended after 3 days
I got my 2005 TSX on Saturday ... last night (Tuesday) I am driving home (from the acura dealership where my mothers TSX was going in for servicing) in bumper-to-bumper traffic when someone rear-ends me. Thankfully I just started moving forward so the car just jumped forward ... no damage. But you can imagine that the 5 minutes it took me to merge 3 lanes over so I could inspect the car and get the other guys insurance info were the worst of my life.

Strangely enough the guy who hit my car was a pastor
So now I got a friend in high places ...
Unfortunately I live in Sunnyvale but flew down to buy this car (well and to see my parents for Thanksgiving). So all digital cameras are sitting in my apartment ...
BTW does anybody know how much a spoiler for the TSX costs to get installed? Thats the only issue I have with the exterior ... the back is too blah. If the dealership isn't the best placed any places in Southern California, (Orange COunty ideally) that are good (and affordable)?

speaking of bumpers:
so i my ankle rolled (popped in/out) over a month ago. 2 weeks into the injury, i have to move to houston from la. i borrow my dad's crv for some transporting. as i'm pulling up into my carport, my foot slips (there's a plastic brace on it) and i hit the gas instead of the brake like some geriatric. the suv hits the concrete wall at about 5 mph, maybe a little more. i'm sweatin' like there's no tomorrow cos the impact was loud. i get out and there's no damage at all.![Big Eek](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/bigeek.gif)
anyway, the point is, damn honda/acura bumpers are good.
myshu, glad to hear no damage was done. if i had seen any damage, i probably would've told the pastor to prepare to meet god.
