hmm...Can't understand why they dont do it at Monticello? Other than Monaco and Singapore, street races (Valencia) are snooze-fests.

Let me guess...the kid was texting.
Ain't been proved but she admitted full guilt to her insurance company. Car in front of Tom was turning so he slowed down - she didn't.

Only reason she would not see brake lights is if she was - uh - NOT looking the road for SOME reason ;-)

Of note -- this will be the Insight's THIRD new bumper

That's what we are going to do... he's lucky I have a spare car to lend him

Speaking of spare cars I miss, saw a first gen Accord today on the main drag here in town

I just hope you all will come see me in jail, because if someone did that to me and I was in the CRX-Si or the S2000, I would get out of my car, walk back to their car, and kill them...
I'll come visit you in jail
You could tell he was out of it, he was not yelling at anyone. You need to think about collector car on the CRX soon if you don't have it already? Standard insurance would total and write off the car as is.

You need to make sure it is insured for full replacement / repair value -- you can claim the value up to $20,000 I believe without an appraisal, higher than they want a written appraisal. That was Haggarty I used to have on the Prelude.

How bad is the damage to the car?
Not THAT bad considering I did take a couple seconds to glance at the poor Insight

Smushed in the CR-Z nose and the airbag went off.

Tom said it drives "funny" so I am guessing the alignment is now off.

Poor little car

Haggerty insures S2000's too. I have thought about switiching to them in the past, but have doubted my ability to stick with the restrictions that would entail.

He is so babied now I truly do not know if he could survive on his own I'd love to see him try for a few days

He refuses to take any pain meds. He is seeing his regular doc tomorrow and he has accident insurance which will reimburse him for things out of pocket.

Ellen, sorry to go and post this, but, well, someone has to...
Got any pics of the car?
It does not look that bad - the rear bumper is attached but popped out from the clips that hold it to the other panels in the car and it's scraped up. That's all that shows.

Good question about the battery stuff, hopefully there's no concealed damage with them and Honda took a rear end collision into consideration when placing the batteries.
