Well this just happened

[KCALB SIRAY]

I've been rear ended twice in the past two years in the same corner of the rear. One was at a stand still on the highway and he was driving an econoline van traveling at highway speeds and didn't realize I was stopped in traffic. These cars are like mini tanks IMO.

I agree with the labor issue and they might just total it. This is what happened to the van. I only needed a new bumper ;)
