Inside Ford GT at 235 MPH (380 kph)

http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/

I got my first Ford GT when I was 5 years old. It was 1.5 inches long, ran on a slot track and was called "Pizza Pie" for reasons that only a 5 year old and his brothers would understand.

Not Always Obvious. . .

The accident didn't seem that bad. . . the plastic bumper bounced back into place and it didn't look like there was much damage.

Sometimes the damage isn't obvious. Be wary when accepting settlement payments from a driver that hits you or their insurance company. Significant damage to the car below was not visible from the outside. The damage to the bumper reinforcement and rear body is a safety concern if the car is hit again from the rear. And the trunk is going to leak in the rain or a car wash.

Bob, our Master Technician, works on
a car with rear end damage

The bumper cover is removed and things still don't look too bad

But when we take off a plastic cover
you can see the big wrinkle in the metal
on the driver's side of the trunk opening

There is a wrinkle at the weather seal on the passenger side too.

The weld on the bumper reinforcement is broken

The bumper reinforcement is crushed and twisted

Maaco-Fremont repaired all of the damage on this car, replaced the crushed bumper reinforcement and energy absorber and repainted the damage area with factory paint.
