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.

Sometimes it's hard to forget that this is the one forum i got to other than hometheaterspot.com that people are somewhat civil in 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...
