Well, it finally happened to me - I was rear-ended Jul 28. I ended up with whiplash, as the person hit me full force, probably going 50-60 on the highway.

My head was whipped forward, then slammed back into the seat. The impact was so strong that the when I slammed back, the seat back actually popped back a few notches. Everything in the cubby holes flew out. I had an instant headache.

I'm teaching myself to drive the speed limit and stay in the right lane, esp on highway, but I'm thinking if I drive 80 or 90, someone would STILL try to pass my car!

At the smart dealer last Friday, I had the cargo net installed (kind of expensive for such a small piece of stretchy string, don'tcha think?), and they asked me if I wanted to have my sunshade replaced, because it was one of the "bad" ones. So after it was installed, it seemed to me that there was less sun coming in and the car wasn't quite as hot. -Anyone else notice that, or am I going crazy?
