I rear ended a brand new F-250. I was probably going about 45, slammed on the brakes, the skid marks were only 5ft long, so I was still moving pretty good when I hit. The car actually went under the truck, the bumper never got a scratch on it. Airbag deployed and I had my seatbelt on. I didn't get a scratch and I wasn't even sore the next day. These cars are incredible. I dented the bumper of the truck, its trailer hitch went straight through my radiator, other than that it didn't have any other damage. My hood got crumpled and the radiator core support got destroyed, along with my brand new radiator and cooling fans. I can't shift into 2nd, 4th, or reverse, but I thing thats due to the linkage getting jamed. The frame and motor mounts are all still good. I could just junk the car, but after she saved my life like that, and considering all the new parts I have just put in her, I had her towed to the body shop this morning. I'm gonna get her back on the road ASAP!
