Hyundai Vs HHR.. Hyundai Loses
Had a little accident taking Sandra to work this morning. We are both fine, we were on State of Franklin Rd. in front of the ETSU Minidome, and it was nothing but solid Ice, the traffic in front of us slowed abruptly because of an accident ahead, and I had to make a quick decision either to try to stop on the road and risk rear ending the car in front of me or jump the curb.. I decided to jump the curb, and I got stopped just in time, unfortunately the guy in the Hyundai behind me tried to jump the curb too but he didn't get stopped and he plowed into the HHR and the rolled back into the road. When I got out and started back and saw the front of his car I just knew the rear of the HHR was toast.. but I really had to look it over before I noticed the damage...
The guy at the body shop where I got an estimate ($518) said the HHR has one of the toughest rear bumpers they have ever seen. If a Toyota or Honda got hit like that it would have torn it completely off and done consiterable damage to the rear.
Here are a couple pictures of the damage to his Hyundai and to our HHR.
It didn't even bust the reflector in my rear bumper...
