I got hit in stop and go traffic on the way home tonight,
Nobody hurt, but I'm going to need a new bumper and probably the support underneath it.
The woman that hit me will need a lot more - parking light, headlight, driver's side fender and maybe a hood. She tried to stop but said her brakes didn't work right. She had had them worked on receintly too. There was a patch of slippery light brown liquid under the corner of her car after she pulled off the road. Not oil - probably brake fluid. It just means that I'll have to do without the car for a few days sometime soon. The annoying thing is that this collison took out the bumper protector that I had special ordered from Japan through a member of the Passat group. It will not be easy to replace that part.
Oh well!
