I have had 2 accidents with my 2.4L in the last 2 years. One was not my fault and one was. The first accident happened in the Spring of 2006. I was stopped wating for a dude to park when i hear a skitching sound. I look in my rear view and see a Chevy Blazer trying to stop behind me. I let up off the brake (foot was still on clutch) and BOOM! The blazer plowed right into my ass. I thought for sure that she caved my rear in but when I got out to inspect the damage, I had a tear on my tire cover and a small, barely noticible dent on my rear bumper. I looked over to the woman's blazer and her front end was toast! I was puzzled at how her much bigger vehicle only dinged mine while her tank was fawked up. The next spring (there is a pattern here I think) in 2007, I was at a light behind some old lady in a Mercury. I was about half a car length behind and the light turned green. I got ready to go and moved up slowly. The lady was still sitting there when my foot slipped off the clutch because my shoe was wet from the rain. I had just enough gas going that it didnt stall and BAM! I slaughtered her rear end. I felt bad at first but then thought....this dumb bat didnt move when the light changed so screw her! I got a ticket for following too close but my jeep wasnt even scratched! The only damage I have is the bumper (never fixed it) and a chunk of paint taken out of the front right fender from swingin too tightly around a snow bank and clipping it (it was frozen).
