People can't just make mistakes these days? You got hurt, see a doc and get it fixed, if it would have been your fault you wouldn't want him suing your ass off.

That sucks about the accident, i hope you feel better, and i hope that guy rethinks spending 28 g's on a car that can be spanked by just about anything with a bee-can on the back.

I really would have thought that buick would dish out a little more punishment to that rx-8.

Glad no one was hurt.

Hopefully it doesn't come back as your fault, since the point of impact was in the rear of his car it very well could.

I am definately surprised the RX-8 didn't take a beating as bad as the buick did...
