Sorry to hear about your accident. I was surprise to hear the damage was 
so extensive. I rear ended an Acura Vigor at about 10 miles an hour two 
months ago. The only damage to my car was the front license plate! I had 
the dealer body shop and service department went over my car mechanical 
and body and they didn't find any damage at all. The Acura needed a new 
rear bumper! :(
