Funny, I remember this year a listmember being hit in the rear, when stopped, by some clown in an Econoline. The Ford was wrecked, the Honda stopped in front of the VW was wrecked, the VW was drivable. The member had severe whiplash. Perhaps, if he's still on the list, he could comment on this issue?
