Accident :-(
So first ever fender bender this afternoon. Sudden stop in traffic, I jumped on the brakes, and the wheels locked up, I slide into the car ahead.

Bumper is toast, Chrome grill peice is done, Radiator is bend to shit, and the compressor is done.

The car in front suffered far less, I basically made friends with the 4 inch metal tow hitch sticking out. The hitch was just a metal bar welded to the hitch and stuck straight out.

Hopefully nothing else major is done.

Tow hitch punched through the air compressor, which made for an interesting show once the 2 cars seperated.

Sorry to hear that divman. Hopefully your repairs go smooth. Most important thing is no one was injured!

Quite a localized hole there. There goes the insurance premium for a few years.

Sorry about the accident. Similar thing happened to me earlier last year.

As for the tow hitch, when I was 18 and had my Grand Am GT, it was snowy out and I put my car in reverse, forgetting my dad's truck was backed in behind me. His trailer hitch punched (literally) a hole in my back bumper.
