Default Wrecked the GS

So I wrecked her today
I was changing lanes, and as I was changing lanes/checking my mirrors the car in front of me slammed on their brakes and I noticed just a second too late... pretty sure its totaled.

Ouc, sorry to hear that. I guess it's GS wrecking season again :thumbdown: I once hit somebody from the back at 40mph. The results on her impala where the same as that charger. Best of luck.

Dang that sucks... Did your airbags go off?

Hope your ok...

Yeah when you rear end someone your front end always dips due to braking and then it hits the soft crumple zone of the car. I.E. the hood and radiator and engine internals... Yeah if it hit anything hard in the engine bay you are totaled.

Tooo badd.. another one bites the dust....
