Unhappy Damn..Smashed into a traffic cone on my way to work

Was on my way to work and driving across the Bay Bridge going eastbound and the car in front slams on the breaks (happens alot right before the treasure island exit). It was a good thing the left lane was closed off for me to swurve into but I had to smash into the traffic cone to do so. The Lexus GS behind did the same thing. Luckily there weren't any visible damages.

I could thank the clear bra for helping absorb and distributing the impact. Good thing they make those cones outta rubber. I guess its better to smash into one of those then the white civic in front of me.

damn that sucks im glad no damage our G's have very annoyingly soft paint...

a kid actually ran into my G while it was on its 1st tank of gas with his lil Power Wheels truck and it put a lil indent in the paint in the bumper that I went and had a body shop fix....at the expense of the little rat's parents of course. $355 !!!

Some ***** that that to me on a rainy day. Out of no where, the ***** stopped and slammed on this brakes. I had no choice but to do the same. I seriously thought I was going to smash into his car. I was going 40mph, it was a rainy day and the distance from my car to his was FN close. Thanks to ABS, my wheels didn't lock up and basically did everything for me.

I stopped only a few inches away from his bumper. And this wasn't in my G. It was in my Integra. haha. ABS FTW. Dude probably thought he was going to make some cash. Because even after I slammed on my brakes, he just sat in the middle of traffic scratching his head to why I didn't hit him. I honked at him and he sped away.

He was wondering when you were going to step out of your car and beat the living day lights out of him like others (possibly myself included) would have done....
