Damage? To mine - the bumper cover is scuffed and the tailpipe is slightly bent. Couldn't see anything else but am taking it to the dealer this afternoon.
His (girlfriends) Honda? Broken headlight assembly, dented hood and fender.
I told him I had to have it looked at because it is a Hybrid and the battery pack and air conditioner and all that. Scared the crap out of him when I told him all the things that could be damaged.
I doubt anything is hurt - since the bumper cover is the grey plastic one and not the painted one like on my '05, I doubt I'll have that fixed - we'll see what the bodyshop says.
Broken ankle one week, rearended the next week, what next?
