    Driving down the tollway, going to work in my wife's Prius, slowing down for a stopped SUV in front of me and a semi hits me.

    Man, I'm going to miss this car.

    Outside of sore ribs, and a sore ego(I had only had my license for 2 weeks, and I had my permit for 6 months, and I'm super upset that I was in a position to get my wife's car wrecked, and it was our only car), I'm ok. Thanks for asking.

    That's too bad, hope you're ok.

    For a little levity: I looked at the front picture first, couldn't see what the fuss was about...

    Holy crap! I hope you are okay, get an attorney trust me insurance companies will jack you around too long and you need to replace your car, I was hit by a lit up chick, sitting at a stop light, she hit and ran but identified her in a line up. Go get yourself a new baby. New Prius! This is good info for rear impact and breaking points on them. I have wondered. Glad your okay.

    Keep a daily log of your aches and pains and have your wife keep one as well, that will help if you pursue litigation.

    Some insurance companies are good, some are horrible. I hope you have one of the good. FWIW, in 45 years i have only used State Farm and now Erie. They have both acted right when i have had accidents. A friend had The General and he tells a horror story.

    Good luck, hope your pains all go away.
