Angry I Got Rear Ended!!

I was driving back to work after picking up food for myself and people I work w/, w/ my buddy and we were sitting on the road waiting for cars to go by so we could make a left hand turn. 3 oncoming cars passed me, so I had been at a dead stop for some time, I look in my side mirror and I see a car flying behind me. All I had time to do was say "oh f#ck" and then BAM! the guy rear ends me at a pretty high speed. It was raining, but we were going up hill, the speed limit on this road is 25 mph and he had to have just turned onto the road because it was a T intersection (no lights, just a stop sign if you were going down the hill) so idk how or why the guy produced that much speed in such a little length and then didn't try stopping until the last second. I had my lights on and everything! anyways here are some pics. the rear bumper is obviously ruined, my rear view camera is smashed, and the passenger side rear panel buckled.





to make matters worse... for the FIRST time I let someone have something other than water in my car. what a mistake, freaking coffee too. idk where my head was at on that one. anyways coffee flew everywhere, had to give it a big time cleaning today. my avic d2 isn't working anymore... some of the coffee must have gotten in it

this is a long shot but take the avic out. throughly rinse it with distilled water. blow dry it some. let it air dry outside in the warm weather for a few days until it is completely dry. plug her back and pray. fixed a cell phone that was dropped into a glass of coke this way once.

aahhh!!! What the hell was his/her deal? Did they say "sorry I will pay for this"? I would want to smash their face in, but of course contain myself, but still!
I've always had a fear about getting rear ended..

thanks Nexx, I'll try that out.

yea Shadow they said sorry and all that. you should have heard/seen me freaking out in the middle of the road. i just spent a good deal of money ordering part for the car so when this happened the rage in me was over coming haha. i just threw something and screamed/cursed tho, i controlled myself. haha, kinda. haha he also said "i know how you must feel, that is a beautiful car I would be upset too"

Zin, i thought about that too. the car will be fixed and back to normal... i'm very thankful neither I or my friend were hurt. i'm even glad the driver of the other car didn't hurt himself.

stereo, i thought about it... looked around. i've got a VS V1 Carbon Fiber front lip on the way right now so i cldn't go for a full kit or i might have went nismo v2 cuz i LOVE that front bumper
