So I killed a civic today, well put it down is more like it
Was heading home from work around 1530. gon on I5 southbound on the mercer ramp. trafic was going bout 40 and slowly came to a stop. I look in the rerview and see this green thing goin toooooo fast. so let go of the wheel, leaned back, listened to him lock up.... BAM!!! being that my a4 has about as much clearance as an suv in the rear, he hit my bumper and his lowered civic went under my car. got out said hi to the idiot... and had a cop there who got to see it happen. he asked me to "pull forward off the other vehicle" So I did and with Im assuming my tow bolt thing took off his carbon hood thingy, radiator, sparkplug cables, and some random hoses. The buy almost broke down in tears, then the cope wrote him a ticket for causing an accident and not having proof onf insurance with him. So lets hope that he has insurance. Hole in the rear bumper and some scratches but its still in place and fairly straight. everything under the car seems fine as far as I could tell but about to go lift it up and take a better look in the garage. afterall i was sitting on my gastank. A wee bit sore, but overall an entertaining experience.

Nice work, wish you had a pic of that though.
No matter how "good" it looks, make sure you get it on a frame rack (without paying to do so of course)to determine if anything is actually bent. All wheel alignment usually follows.
