Yesterday while headin up to Sears with a couple of buddies of mine I rear ended a jeep. Everybody is fine, but my poor GA has a huge hole in the front bumper. The only damage to this guys Jeep was a bent hitch. I was stupid enough to take my eyes off the road for no less then 2 seconds and then BAM. We were only doin about 25-30 becuase we just came off a light. The guy in front of the jeep put his blinker on at the last second and went to turn and the guy in the Jeep slammed on his brakes. This is about when I looked away. The next thing I hear is my buddy yell YO! and I slammed on the brakes but ended up slammin into this guy anyway. Nobody called the cops, nobody got hurt, but I need a new bumper. God this sucks. Pics will be up soon.

ur lucky man. all u need is a new bumper cover. but it also looks like u need the bumper itself as well. u might be able to find the parts at a local junkyard. if u have any questions just talk to me on aim and ill help as much as i can. good luck buddy

Hey i did the same thing to mine in the exact same spot. Only i rear ended an off duty cop. That was about a year ago now i think. And i did no where near that much damage. Good luck fixin it,

The only reason it did so much was becuase the guys trailer hitch slammed through it. We were all shook up pretty bad but everybody was ok. Yeah I'm gonna be gettin a new bumper soon. Probably next month sometime when I get my next few paychecks. Hopefully I can find some parts down at the local junkyard though. Man this sucks. Nothing is really wrong with the car though. My allignment isn't off, the engine is fine, its just that goddamn hole that is botherin me.

dam, sorry man.
You got pretty lucky there. And the airbags didn't go off. I've seen smaller impacts that have blown them.

Yeah I was amazed that the airbags didn't go off either. I hit the guy pulled to the side of the road and went, "DAMN!". My buddies are always given me crap to about tellin them to put on their seatbelts. Looks like me being stubborn and getting them to buckel up payed off huh?

Sucks to hear hope it's just the bumper cover. btw your camera needs to be cleaned or something that's hard to look at.

It appears to be bad focus. (Or handshake from slow shutter speed)

I figured out what it was on my camera. My sister played with my focus and screwed it all up. =P I'll see if I can get less fuzzy shots now that I've figured out why it was doin that.
