Similar thing happened to me in my first car, an '83 Volvo wagon... I was backing up in a parking lot, and this dumb girl in a Honda comes barreling around the corner and smacks into the Volvo. Next thing you know, her car is smashede up beyond belief, and I have a cracked taillight. oops. That car was a tank. I have never trusted any cars from Japan after that. Oh, on a side note, my buddy had an Acura he banged up badly. So He parked at the bottom of my driveway (steep steep hill) and puts some blocks in front of his wheels. Then I put my hummer halfway up the hill, and attached my tow strap to the H2 and part of his little Japanese car. Then I florred it. Suffice to say, a lot of the body damage was pulled out. Once again, I lost any faith whatsoever in japanese car safety. My girlfriend drives an Acura, so I made her start driving my BMW M3 after that. I just didn't feel safe with her in a japanese car.
