Well, I just finished putting on my new wheels, which was an adventure in and of itself because 1 of the twenty lugnuts was the wrong thread (noticed before it ruined the stud) and the hub-centric rings had the wrong ID (centered using the lugs, very difficult, but done with no vibration!) and I was on my way to put some air in the tires.

I was going down a 35 mph road, and the van in front of me stopped to make a left turn. I stopped about 15 feet behind. I did not stop quick or anything, just kinda gradually braked down from 35 and held the car with the brakes.

Wham!

Wham!

Some woman in a New Beetle Convertible smacked me from behind...twice. I was able to keep the xB off of the bumper of the van in front of me...barely. Anyway, it is definitely her fault, and I called the cops immediately, so that is on file.

The damage is bad under the bumper. I am pretty sure the unibody is bent and will need pulled out. If I had to guess, I would estimate $1500-$3000 in damage. I am getting it fixed at the dealer.

Anyway, on with the pics.
















Here are some better pics of the wheels on the car:





Here is the thread about the accident.

I was just planning on taking it to the dealer (Day Scion).

Though, that is VERY impressive that he matched Torched Penny...I would have never bought the RS4 because I had always heard that color-shifting paint was nearly impossible to match.
