Strange you should mension being hit in the rear. I was just hit in the rear for the second time last Sat. night. $1300 damage. I'm going to fix the next #$%#^$%^ that hits me good. I'm putting a great big trailer hitch on the back with a tung that sticks out real far. This will make sure they get more damage then me! I can't stand people who tailgate, this is exactly what caused this crash. Eric 86-VW4x4 vw4x4@fyi.net 72-240z Pittsburgh, PA USA 1936-Chrysler
