Glad the 245 shrugged it off, though!
Well, I saw glass fly and watched their rear quarter get pushed pretty far in, also might have hit the rear wheel. The 245 took the hit like a brute. The stratus, or what I saw of it, not so much.
Quarter panel, turn signal lens, bumper. that's it. i didn't have the hockey stick on the car at the time (it's in my garage). Air dam broke a zip-tie that was holding it on, but other than that, it's fine.

This is why I love these cars. I've got all the trim, including the corner hockey sticks, on mine - some of it's better than others; the left rear's come apart and I should probably find a junkyard pull.
Is it normal for one turn signal to fade (yellow) with age, from UV exposure, before the other? Both of my cars appear to have had the left side replaced, as it's near-perfect, but the right one's very faded by comparison.
The bumper still looks good. Is it just scuffed, or is the angle hiding the damage?

Bumper is scuffed, and bent in with the fender.

'97 Dodge 2500 Cummins.
Few things done to it. New injectors, and fuel system, new turbine, and a couple other changes.

Now that is a tuff truck.

This is a shot of my bike while it was still in the shop. '95 Sporty...
I am now guilty of false advertising. The tank says 1200, the engine IS 1500...
And this is the SO's FJ40... (not a picture of ours, but identical except the tread on the tires (tyres for some of you blokes)):

Very nice Airbozo. When you get it back you need to ride down to Georgia and we can ride some of the Appalachian roads.
Re: What does TBCS drive?
98 Dodge Stratus 5spd 2.0L SOHC w/ 207,000 orig miles.
Bought with 91K in 2001. Only major work done was replaced the clutch, motor mounts, oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket, timing belt (3 days after buying it), wheel bearings (front only), Alternator (only because the douches who replaced the timing belt broke the bolt hole off it), and A/C Compressor (seized up while driving and killed the engine). Minor fixes, clean up the oxidation on the headlights, need to do the hood next. Oh yeah, need to replace the hood pins. They are functional! I do not have a hood latch anymore.
Cool thing is I still get over 32 MPG every fillup (400+ miles on a 16gal tank), and it only takes a qt of oil every 750-1,000 or so miles. lol
17's before I cracked one on the Railroad Tracks. It is not lowered but sits lower then any stock stratus I've seen. The suspension is original from when I bought it and still as good as the day I got it.
I only have 1 set of driving lights now.
*update*
What are the odds?! As I was driving home, I blew the radiator hose. lol Heard a pop!, then a trail of smoke.
