Wrecked

Hit from behind by a minivan tonight. Great. Luckily the Land Rover shook it off pretty well. Much better than the p-car would have.

I thought this was going to be about the lame Speed channel show. That sucks, glad everybody's ok. A LR is a pretty good vehicle to be in for an accident.

Thanks everyone. Yeah, luckily no one was hurt.

On the plus side, taking it to the guys who do most of the work here for LR and the Porsce dealer. Gives me a chance to talk to them about some paint work...

It really does. These people are terrible drivers. Weirdly aggressive on back roads. Go 65 thru the residential areas and tailgate, then sit in the left lane on the highway at 60. I miss MI and OH drivers.

Glad your ok.

My neighbor (City LEO) just got rear ended the Saturday by some guy high on painkillers.

She was stopped at a light and he was traveling about 40MPH and did not hit the brakes

She is a bit sore and her infant son is thankfully unharmed.
