I'm glad first off that no one was seriously hurt today, we got let off easy by the big guy today... I say count your blessings and move on. Hope things work out ok for both guys.

Here's how I heard events.. in chronological order...

I get to Esso station.. some fourth gen people we're talking about a big cloud of smoke and something happening. Not good.
Next I hear that some thirdgen black GTA, maybe two of them were hotdogging it and the thirdgen cutoff a fourth gen and was rear ended. All I hear from Paul is our reputation is ruined. It doesn't look good for our board members. I ask around some more and finally a witness to the event. Kev87TA had another coolant problem.. a pipe burst, lotsa white smoke.. mass confusion, Kev pulls over and then gets rear ended by some poor confused fourth gen driver who is blinded by the smoke. I call up Kev tell him to get over to the esso station and figure it out there. I see them pull in they are assesing the damage and then the oddest thing... not only is it a fourth gen.. its also another of OUR board members. I think the funniest part was they were both taking down each other's insurance numbers and they only realized at that point it was Kevin and Kevin V. D'OH!

Anyways, the damage could have been a lot worse. Kev in braking had his front end tipped lower while his rear end was raised. Same went for the other Kevin and what occurred was the same thing that happened to me back in June. The rear ending car slid underneath and tore off the exhaust piping. Kev V's car needs some paint rework and a bit of creative hammering. Kev87ta needs a new bumper cover and some creative frame work.

As far as things go, this could have been a lot worse, Kev could have come to a complete stop and leveled off and there goes the front end and rear end of each car...

OMG!

Gees, Kev, your luck is kinda sucking lately. Hopefully, this is the last of it and things will be smoothe from here on. I'm glad no one was hurt...at least I don't think anyone was hurt. Take care.
