aviva510 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I was rear ended two days ago while driving my 400h. I stopped suddenly to avoid the car in front of me. My Lexus stopped on a dime. Then I looked in the rear view mirror and saw to my dismay a GIANT white 'super duty' ford truck heading my way. He hit me hard, but I am fine. On close inspection of our cars neither one of us could believe what we saw. His entire front bumper was all dented in and there is NOT EVEN A SINGLE SCRATCH on my Lexus. He said, "wow, this is a great ad for LEXUS!" I now drive around feeling very safe. Just thought you'd all like to know PLUS I had to tell someone!!! P.S. Even so, I still have 'wood wheel envy!'

speedyg Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 it may be too late, but do you have any pictures? ← No pictures! I wish I'd thought to take some! ← I always keep disposable cameras in my cars so that I can take pictures if there is an accident. It was useful a couple years ago when a truck rear ended me. I quickly took pictures of the positions of the vehicles, the damage, the truck's license plate, and the truck's driver :) Got insurance judgement 100% in my favor.

So I hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 You should have taken his insurance information and gotten the vehicle checked out, I still would. You never know what kind of damage you could have to bumper mounts, frames, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
