Angry Not a good Sunday afternoon

today i decided to go to the mall with my friend to see what deals I could find for today. But before that I'm at a intersection with the light red, waiting for it to change and as it does the car before me starts to go as normal. I started to go when all of a sudden i heard a sirens so as I look to see where its coming from the lady in front of me SLAMS on her brakes, so i had to do the same but there wasn't enough room for me to stop and kaboom i hit the lady. But she was ok but unfortunately my bumper has a few bumps and bruises along with a cracked grille.

At least it was at a pretty low speed. The damage is minimal, just a good reason to get a nice black grille

Intgr8r, That's the exact opposite of his story lol that's what he did!

Good luck with the repairs man, it's those lady drivers!

That sawks! I cracked the paint on my rear bumper a few months ago backing into a light standard. It was foggy and my back window was fogged. I'm sure no G owner likes the sight of damage on their car.

That's a shame for the car and your driving record. G/L with the repairs.
