Yup, it happened. I was stopped behind a truck, and the truck behind me decided he didn't really fell like stopping. Everyone's ok, I've got a strained lumbar and a cervical strain, and my fiance has a cervical strain. Damage to my car is VERY minimal. It took it much better than I would have expected it, he didn't even apply his brakes until he was about 8ft away from my rear bumper, he hit me doing around 30 mph. His truck (87 Mazda B2000) is pretty F-ed up. Looks like he'll need a new front bumper, headlights, grill and hood. All I'll need is a new bumper cover nad possibly a new muffler. Luckily he did have insurance.
Good news: my old bumper cover had a gash in it from some errant plexiglass, and was a little un-evendue to a previous mishap. So looks like that will all be fixed.
Bad news: my back hurts like hell, and I was so mad I hit the roof of my car near the roofrack and put a dent in it, but it looks like it can be popped out with no problem.
I'll post some pics later tomorrow.
