fender bender

[email protected] #27737 so I was following a friend down the road all of a sudden, bizarrely, her car came to a screeching stop nobody was hurt, but it must have been some kind of record, stopping distance for a Volvo wagon from 40 MPH the skid marks were at least thirty feet long "catastrophic failure" of some kind, the officer said maybe tranny jumped somehow, or bearing failure we don't know anyway, I was this close to stopping in time my reflexes and brakes are both good but there was just no way I've never seen a car stop as fast as hers did I needed another five feet at least the impact was not that terrible, and mercifully it was almost square on rear end, but the Volvo crumpled up somewhat on the passenger side the only thing I can find on my EV is under the hood top plate of suspension member on passenger side looks to have been pushed back @ 3/8" or so - fresh metal visible behind two bolt heads other than that, I can find nothing pretty impressive, actually glad the Volvo crumpled so obligingly anyway, question to the group: what do I look for/check on? what's likely to be affected when you drive into something? everything's up front, I can't believe I'm going to get off this easily good idea to do a front end alignment? thanks for any input Rolf
nomad #27766 Hey buddy I had a fender bender tonight as well!! I couldn't stop in time either and I hit the rear of a Bronco's hitch, luckily for me my front license plate that says "VW" pretty much absorbed the impact. The plate as well as the metal holder were off my EVC and wrapped around his hitch. I have a slight tear in my front bumper but Ill cover that with another plate. Your right these things don't stop well at all. I didn't bother to check anything because I really didn't damage that much.
