Sorry to hear about the incident -- it's so frustrating. I traded in a Mini for a Saab after two close calls from behind, both involving SUVs and inattentive drivers. The first one hit me at low speed while I was stopped at a red light, causing $1500 in damage. The second time the driver of a full-size GMC SUV who was approaching from behind at ~50mph just barely got it stopped in time to avoid hitting me as I was again stopped behind a row of traffic at a red light - clear day, straight and level road, no obstructions. She never stopped talking on her cell. My kids were in the back of the Mini. I was driving a Saab within 2 weeks of that one.
Glad you're OK - get some rest ...
