pretty much, the guy two cars infront hit the brakes for no reason and then just drove off..the subby locked em up real quick and never saw the lotus coming.

I would think it was his fault unless the scoobie went in reverse on the freeway?

I would love to own a few body shops in LA. The business must be huge. I drove through LA going to SD last summer and must have saw 10 pile ups. One was a completely flamed out van that was so burned that it was resting on the rims. The tires were already melted by the tme we passed by.
One more thing I noticed. They like shut down the traffc flow completely. Makes for nice weekend back-up.
Reason 2341 why I would not live in LA. The funny thing is one of the major causes of accidents is people staring at each other like there at the mall or something.

My Esprit is one car I will never sell !

it is one of three black / blacks made for that year
and yeah I was expecting a lot more damage too although the adjuster who is coming to see it tomorrow says it may have a bent frame . The frame is very suspect in rear end collisions according to him. We'll see I guess
