Ouch!

Got in an accident yesterday afternoon. Was getting off I25 to Harmony and a truck towing a boat slammed on his brake, with the brake lights not working. Couple of cars behind him swerved to the side but there was a ditch on my left and a car on my right. So I had no choice but straight ahead. Hit the rear of an SUV. Everything happened in slow motion, I was braking, but nowhere to go. The damage looks worst considering it was at low speed. My airbags didn't even deploy. The SUV got a minor paint scratch at his bottom bumper but I plowed down and smashed my hood in. Everyone was ok.

The car was still drivable, no leaks except for the windshield washer fluid. Looks like the bumper is still ok and repairable which is good since they don't make it anymore. I guess it's time for a cf hood.
