Well, we made it through the first leg of the tour, and were back in SF for
the 3 dates here. We were coming back from a tech walkthrough and were
sitting in stopped traffic on 80E right at the split & the car coming up
behind us never slowed down. Owch. Wešre doing ok for getting hit by someone
going 40mph. I did get taken out on a backboard into an ambulance, but
nothing was broken when they did the x-rays...anyway. We have the awesome
tubular steel bumpers which probably saved a lot of the back of the van, but
the car that hit us did slide down under the bumpers when they were braking.
They wrapped the sheet metal around the catalytic converter and the impact
seriously damaged the transmission. Those things are being worked on, but I
was wondering if there were other things that are related to those that I
should make sure to be vocal about getting checked out.
Thanks,
Kriss
