Default Little damage in a accident

Not to long ago I got rear ended by a 2006 Honda Civic. When I got out of my '88' I saw a young girl in the driver seat and her mother in the car. Of course naturally I asked them if they wear OK. And they were fine. So I checked out the damage and I was amazed at the thousands of $ it did to their car and what little damage I had. Her hood was folded back the radiator and support was crunched into the motor headlights fenders ect. was smashed. here's a couple pics of my damage from that. She hit so hard I almost faceplanted my windshield. no I wasinit wearing my seat belt But now I'm convinced I drive a tank.

Yea I know that fiberglass front head won't take much but having metal bumpers help allot with maximum destruction on those jap cars.

Sorry to Hijack post

A drunk undocumented border crosser (Mexican) caused this There were 3 more occupants my two sons & one of their friends... my youngest had to be cut out of the jeep...his legs were pinned under the front seat from the front tire... after a few hours in at the hospital we all went home no broken bones... He recieved five years then deported back to Mexico

All I can say is thank god for the higher profile Jeep most of the impact went under the Jeep & the seat belts.... I was doing 40-45 mph at the time of impact investigators say he was doing the same, were we hit is were we stopped I was heading west he was heading east we ended up faceing north & south

We hit so freakin hard his car 88 t-bird the front passenger seat was no more than two inches fron the dash board if someone was sitting there they would never have lived , the rr door on my jeep was bent in half the rear hatch broken in half

Well thank God no one was hurt, and also for deportation. Unfortunately he's probably already back drunk driving in the states.

Sorry for your Jeep. But I'm glad it took the impact forces and not you and your passengers.
