Anyone know a great place to get an Acura TL? I'm in the market. :book:
I got in late last night ... will download the week-end's pics tonight and get them to you.

For those who are going "huh?" ... Mr. and Mrs. Sounder were involved in an accident on their way home from Mukilteo T-dock Saturday morning. Someone rear-ended their vehicle. I happened to be driving by shortly after the accident happened and stopped to take some pics for the insurance company.

Estimated speed on the report with skid marks, damage, etc was 40-45 mph into the back of our stopped car... When the insurance adjusted looked at the frame and underside of the car, she paused... then she simply said, "damn, she hit you hard."

It could have been prevented had the dumb &%$#@ not been on her phone and not been driving 60-65 mph in a 35mph zone. 20 years old, from Whidbey Island, admitted to being nervous about driving on this side of the water because "all the cars scared her" and was speeding while on the phone. Evidently she missed the 4 red lights pointed at her as well as the line of about 30 cars waiting at the light... amazing.

Is it safe too conclude that no one got hurt?

And for the record "I was no where around during this accident!"

There's a reason they call that road the Mukilteo Speedway.

FWIW - I've been rear-ended three times in the past year ... and all three times the driver who hit me was talking on a cell phone.

Not to hijack the thread - I KNOW WHO'S IN THE PICTURES!!! Bob put on a great class - my breathing improved the next morning when I started using the technique he described. It also kept me from feeling like I "needed air." Thanks GD!
