Why all the front end damage

I was scrounging for some parts for my old Integra, and noticed, there sure are alot of Civics at the wreckers with front end damage. Not many with other kinds. Why all the front end damage? Some pretty hard hits too...

because everyone with a civic or teg drives faster than the speed limit increasing their chances of rear ending someone? j/k man i dunno thats my opinion though

A lot of Civic drivers seem to drive like me - that being like a$$holes! I was speeding and tailgating...which resulted in me rear ending someone. Bleh, at least she was cool about it...and hot...and I got a number.

:::Flame alert, shields at maximum, phasers ready and armed:::

Sounds to me like we have a large number of immature/inexperienced drivers?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

I'd suggest either practicing more driving techniques or, if affordable, attending a driving school.

[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] Nah, I think we all get into an accident at one time or another...they are called accidents for that reason. Bah, it's ok, I learned my lesson though

I have front end damage because I was sound a sleep and my own freaking cousin backed up to my car. He was in the garage and I was parked on the driveway. Damages have totaled $1000,00 and alot of stress. Oh well, a cheap excuse to put the CF Hood and Projectors.

Add me to the list as well, But I killed my hood, and roof at the same time, most of the front bumper and stuff was fine just a few cracks, but I got a new one anyway.

I guess I am a bad driver too.

Humm I dunno the majority of wrecks are rear ending people so I am guessing thats why. I am way back on people I hate getting close and dinging my car up. Especially when I don't have my full bra on.

Add mine, too. Someone jumped on my hood and put a dent right in the middle. Something like $300 to fix.
