    I was involved in two traffic crashes today!

    Yep you read that correctly, The wife & I was involved in not one but two separate crashes with the Commander today (no injuries).

    I listed my roof basket on Craig's List and was heading out to Tempe to trade the roof basket for a kayak (I will post that up in another thread). As I was traveling along the freeway the driver in front of me slammed on his brakes to avail a collision with the vehicle in front of him which stopped quickly and even though I hit my brakes hard I was unable to avoid the collision.

    Two seconds later a vehicle crashed into the back of the Commander!

    The Highway Patrol arrived and two hours later we were all on our way to our final destinations.

    Now how about the damage (photos are small as they were taken with my cell phone)...

    This is the vehicle that I ran into (Yep by legal definition I was at fault even though he stopped quickly in front of me):





    and this is what it did to the Commander:







    It is hard to see from the photos but the driver's side of the bumper was pushed back between 1/2 and 1/2 inch, one of my light covers was cracked and the driver's fender has a little wrinkle to be repaired.
