So glad you are OK. My goodness Chris, get rid of that car. I am not trying to sound like your Mum. But really, how safe is that car when it got all squished up and the other cars were OK. I was in a similar situation back in 1996. The car n front of me stopped because the car in front of him was stopped to make a left hand turn. Some guy came flying up behind me and pushed me into the car in front of me. The guy behind me, hit my Toyota Tercel so hard that the front of his car was underneath my car. My back end was completely off the ground. No injuries. Only minor damage to my car. Good luck. Glad you are OK. My daughter says, please make more Vids with Wicket. Candy BUMMER! So glad you are OK.

The only advice I would give you on this is to be persistent with your insurance company, the adjusters priority is to settle the claim for as little money as possible, which may not serve you. That was my take away for sure. Keep us posted on the saga...... James http://Twitter.com/AskJamesHolmes Chris -

(This was always the argument for "why you stop in traffic with a car length between you and the guy in front of you.") Like I said, not saying it *will*, but I've heard of it happening before. This totally sucks, and I'd hate to see you get caught by surprise when the guy in front of you comes at your insurance company instead of the guy who hit you. You know, *if*. Which the way some people are...
