Default 395 was a menace tonight,

A couple of hours ago at Bully's I was talking with Evan about his car. Then on my way home, something, maybe an upcoming lane closure, caused all traffic on the freeway to stop on 395 near the Hilton. When I came to a complete stop I first heard a crunching sound of a car hitting another, then screeching tires and more crunching. At the first noise I looked in my rear-view mirror, and saw a car ramming into the one in front of him. I think all of us drivers near there were bracing to be hit. That was a multi-car collision ending 3 cars behind me.
As the rest of the traffic around me started to inch away and head towards the exit, I drive by a blue WRX that got sandwiched in the middle of about 5 cars. I can say I'm thankful that I then saw Evan outside and walking around, but my heart is breaking for the damage to the car.

Evan, so sorry for you! Let me know if there's anything you need help with.

Art, and Mike, went back to help him.

Okay.....long story short, Evan did everything he should have. It was like a 10-car pile. 3 cars in front of him hit each other, Evan was far enough behind to see it coming and stopped in time. Unfortunatly, 2 cars behind Evan did not stop in time. The tagged Evan pretty hard, ruining his aftermarket bumper and possibly his tailights. Everyone was helpful...and will hopefully be resolved quickly.

a BIG to the dumbass chick in the sentra driving way to fast.

Here is the situation. I am in the middle lane with Evan behind me and Mike behind him. This gold sentra was going way to fast ahead of me so I move into the left lane in fear of her doing something stupid. Mike also moved over with me, and left room for Evan to move over, but he didn't. He slammed his break on and dodged the collision. But 2 people behind him didn't make it.

Mike and I then flipped around at keystone and headed back to testify to the accident. Fun night.

Ugh... fucking weak. Glad to hear everyone's okay. Since Evan didn't hit anyone, he should be covered by the insurance of the idiots behind him. When the accident's not your fault you usually have much less of a hassle and get paid more for the damages. Evan, make sure you get that car fixed proper!

Stupid bad drivers.

As everyone says: Carbon Fiber is hard to damage

His CF trunk has no damage at all. Although you can tell it flexed quite a bit since it scraped the paint.

Bumper is ruined. Their insurance will pay for it all.

Every thing is in motion now I now have another rear ender to deal with. The good news is I get to redo all of the parts that are messed up. I am thinking getting a stock trunk out of this with a tommykiara rear bumper. I am still think of what to do about the turbo back I am thinking another MRT or do somthing custom. Thanks for all suport everone the most important thing is that I am OK and will never let somthing like this get me down even if I get mad.

I will be getting this to make me feel better.
