    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.
