As long as no one was hurt... at least it was only a rubber bumper C3.

Odd thing to post in the C5 section, though.

You're probably right, but I'd rather drive a C5 than a rubber bumper C3 any day of the week, and twice on Sunday lol

The problem with that is you'd have to be seen in public driving a C5.
