Turbo6man, Yor post implys you know more than us about the circumstances of the collision. care to ellaborate?FWIW when 2 or more cars collide it is almost NEVER an accident....

An accident is like when you are driving along the road doing everything by the book and a tree falls on your roof. Anything else is simply a collision and is caused by driver error.

Yes I stacked my XR6T thursday last thursday. It wasn't a parked pannel van, a moving mitsubishi van. Was in peek hour traffic and I was going about 52klm/hr, wasn't watching the car in front of the van cos it's kinda hard to see around, long story short cars stopped on the other side of a hill thing, van slams on the brakes, so did I, but didn't stop in time. So thanks to the guys who didn't jump to conclusions, these things happen to someone somewhere everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear it wasn't as serious as first thought Cars can be fixed, people often can't so glad you're OK too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
