Default Rear-Ended

Setting at a stoplight right after picking the V up from Epp & ! Bang!, This lady's foot slipped off the clutch of her beat up old escort.
Well fortunately just gonna take repainting the rear bumper. Since she was already stopped behind me when it happened.
Kinda scary when you first hear & feel the bang & takes a couple seconds to realize weather you were just totaled or what

Thats sucks. Did you look at the exhaust and see if it pushed/broke any of it?

You Know, I hadn't even thought about that, Need to get under it & make sure it wasn't damaged, The tips don't look like they've been touched.

Thanks, Jerrad for the heads up

If it's that low speed, I think you'd be fine. I got nailed at 30mph but was able to floor the V up to 15mph before impact and the rear end was fine except for the bumper cover...

The MikeNice Legions needs to have a formal meeting, I'm thinking Vegas for a few days, all important meetings need to be at Olympic Garden--no spouses in case no one figured that one out, Mike is the leader so we will have to pay for him, and also have to pay to get his TURBO V shipped out to Sin City.

Bob, sorry for you, glad you are okay, glad damage was minor, get nailed in the rear (watch it skippies) is scary as it happens fast and you are not sure when the collision will stop.
BTW, seeing as the paint gun is coming out, shoot the whole car in Black, as good for like another 15 HP.

I think we are envious of your V, and now you rub it in our faces by saying you need to lower your power!

BTW, those red and blue Vs are pretty damn slow, never seen any of them post dynos here, I think the owners of those only buy appearance mods.
