Had a similar problem with brakes( or lack thereof :eek: ). Light's green for left hand turn, but everyone's going slow so the lane is backed up. No reason why, just soccer mom's taking johnny to school and drinking coffee instead of driving. I'm driving thinking everyone is moving, but they're not. Had to jam on the brakes real fast and heard the fronts screeching :eek: Other than a little smoke and a few choice words for the slow drivers, no damage. :cuss

Visibility isn't good in our cars, have to keep an extra sharp eye out for bad drivers :eek:

Are you going to repair the car yourself or have somebody do the repairs for you ?

Even after 6 weeks of heartache, trauma, fury, desperation, depression, despondancy & anguish getting the front of my Vette painted (yes, it's going really well :rolleyes: ), I would rather ram it into the back of another car than hold up an ambulance for even a few seconds. Those few seconds could be the difference between somebody dying or surviving.
Hope the repairs go well and, if not, I've found that beer helps!
:cheers:

Now, that is a good attitude...I will remove my negative post somewhere above. Just don't follow so closely next time. I always stay considerably back from cars, cause you never know what's gonna happen up ahead. :yesnod: :cheers: :smash:

At least he didn't call it a "meat wagon." :jester

I hope you get your car back on the road soon. Or you could use it as an excuse to do a frame off like me. Now if I could only get started... :smash:
