My 5 Month Old Rear Ended!!
So I was driving towards an intersection and then I hear a fire engine siren that was getting louder. Logically when you hear the sound you would slow down and so I did and then I was able to see the fire engine approaching so I slowed to a stop. A split second later...BANG!! The idiot behind me paid no mind to the sirens nor my brake lights flashing red that I stopped and rear ended me. He must've been traveling pretty fast because his air bags deployed and windshield was cracked. Now I can't even close my trunk...

the perpetrator:
I'm just glad my baby boy was not in the rear seat when it happened

Damage doesnt look too bad.
At least you are okay.
was the childseat in the car?
Thats what the insurance company will probably ask you and they'll probably pay you out to to buy new one because its integrity is compromised in their sense.

The damage isn't as bad as mine but all of the same parts are damaged. You might have escaped some frame damage. My repair was just under $10k.
Don't forget to demand a diminished value claim. You can do this AFTER it is repaired. My diminished value appraisal came in at around $6k, they offered me $3k and we are now headed to court to settle it. My guess is they'll offer you $2k since your damage is more minor. But you don't get it if you don't ask for it!

thanks for the concern you guys.
@ azmojo: do you still look at your is350 the same after the collision?
my car is a lease so after this hit i don't think i would be purchasing afterwards. i was hoping for frame damage so i can have an excuse to jump to an RC-F...guess i have to wait 3 more years until my lease up

Frame damage can show up much later, besides some shock in your drivetrain which depends on the selected gear you were in when hit from behind (the car moves forward in such a case and "wants" to force the drivetrain to do the same).
