Yeah, I was rear ended, no big story here. It was on the freeway, I was probably hit at about 20mph.
What has suprised me the most is how tough my car is.
Her car the redesigned Jetta had the whole front end pushed in about 6" to 1'. The hood, bumper, lights, all gone; but the air bags didn't go off, so it wasn't too bad.
My car looked as if nothing had happened to it, the trunk still closes perfectly. Upon some inspection the area the holds the spare tire under the trunk is dented in about 4 inches but that's about it. There might be further damage but I can't tell.
All I have to say is, buy a w124. I don't know if the front's of cars are more easily damaged (probably are) over the rears, but it sure seems as if w124's are built rock solid.
