rear-ended grrrr

so, my car, Whiskers, is all jacked up, and i'm sad because i love that car and they don't make them anymore so if they total it i have to get something else, but if they fix it, it won't be the same zippy car it used to be, i'm sure.

it happened tuesday after work. i was stopped in the usual stopped traffic from w-b page to s-b 270 (whoever designed that on/off ramp is a GENIUS!). the guy behind me decided not to stop, and now the entire back of my car is smashed in, one taillight is gone (vaporized!) and the front driver's side is smashed in too, because i was pushed into the car in front of me, which suffered minor bumper scratches. oh, and a piece of something went rolling away down page, then was hit by a car and bounced to the other side of the median.

i had hella pain, cause i braced when i saw him in the rearview. my head bounced like a crash-test dummy and i smacked the back of it against the headrest. my doctor says i seem to be ok, just sore, but took x-rays just in case.

i've finally talked to the guy's insurance, and they will accept liability as soon as they talk to the driver who was in front of me. which is good, because rental cars are expensive, as will be fixing my car/buying a new car.

if they do total it, i'm going to buy a tank.
