Man, I thought those guys were kidding about Hummers and frontal collisions

[RedGTS]

I'd heard the talk, and even seen a few pics, but I had personally never seen a fairly significant front/rear collision where one of the vehicles was caved in and the other one wasn't even scratched. Until this afternoon, anyway. My 16 year old son driving our H2 rear-ended a girl at a redlight, seriously caving in the entire rear of her VW Passat. Fortunately she wasn't injured (nor was he), but her car is going to need basically everything from the rear glass back. The officer who wrote up the report finished up with her car, walked over and looked at the front of the Hummer for 30 seconds or so, and then turned to me and said (with the look and sound of someone who had seen a UFO and just couldn't believe it), "I can't find any damage." It has a chrome brushguard, bumper, and tow hooks, and as best I can tell it doesn't have a mark on it. If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have believed it.
