240's have strong rear bumpers. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I parked my '92 240sx by the sidewalk on a steep street near my apt. because the manager closed out our parking lot because they are fixing it.  Anyway these two guys come knocking on my door asking if that was my car I go outside and look and my 240 got hit on the rear by a ford focus. My bumper was still good some scratches and alignment is a little off but no dents. The ford had a big dent on its rear bumper because the owner did not put the car in first gear so their car rolled down the hill. The cops as usual took forever to come. I guess its pretty cool that this happened because now I get some free money woohoo.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

i don't really enjoy the fact that the 240 has a strong bumper.  that extra layer of styrofoam inside it stopped me from getting a $4000 "pain & suffering" check and got me a $2100 "pain & suffering" check instead.   <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

my 98 S14 got hit twice, first time was hit by a 18 wheeler from behind, some scratches and alignment a little bit off, the cop came and said it's my fault. however I still won the case and got some money from "pain and suffering"  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

a few weeks ago I got hit again by a suburban from behind, the impact was hard enough to push my car at least 5 feet forward, and i had an headache. the bumper had just some scratches and the side popped a little bit.  the cop said thats under 5mph of impact. yea right fvck the cops. i'm still in pain and suffering now, <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
