I was at lunch today with some members of my tech team at work. I was stopped at a light when we heard screeching tires then BOOM! A guy rear ended me doing 20mph. He was not able to drive home but I got the guys back to work with no problem. The police officer who responded just chuckled when he looked at the damage to the car. I love my Tahoe!

I have got to show this to my accountant wife so she feels better about paying a fortune in gas.

Good point. She should want to protect the investment that she's made in you!

Did you even feel anything when he hit you? For anyone thinking of moving to AZ....the drivers are literally retarded. I've been rear ended 4 times in the last 8 years.

Yes! I love seeing the difference in damages between a small car and our trucks. Luckily no one was injured.

We felt the truck sway as if you had two big guys shaking the truck but that was it. My boss has been thinking about buying a Yukon. We had just come from the G.A.M.E. showroom (Goins Auto Motorsports Enterprise) in Chandler when this happened - looking at rims and talking with the owner (www.goinsauto.com). My boss is married with two small kids - he is now sold on either a Yukon or Tahoe (probably the Yukon since I have a Tahoe). My wife's Altima got rear ended last year on the 101 during rush hour commute. Arizona traffic is definitely dangerous.

When my truck was hit, I told my daughter to stop kicking the seat.

i had it fixed this morning, i came home early (last evining) since it got VERY stormy. 60-70 mph winds and solid rain, so the rain is back there, but the low lying clouds were awful, you could not see the end of the hood of the kon it was so bad coming back.

i did not tell him off to not escalate the problem, he paid for it since i had a witness. hopefully never hear from him again.
