I'm glad You're ok. There's nothing you can't replace and fix. Lot's of parts around. Geting rear ended is my second biggest fear after getting side swiped by a cager.

... Some states don't allow it,but California does.
someone told me once that california is the only state in the union where lane splitting is not against the law.
{EDIT}
guess he was technically correct. following courtesy of wikipedia
California has no laws explicitly prohibiting lane splitting, and is the only U.S. state for which official statements state that lane splitting, when done safely, is legal. California is not the only state for which there is no traffic law that explicitly prohibits lane splitting,but officials rely on other laws to regularly interpret lane splitting as unlawful. For example, New Mexico does not address lane splitting by name, but has language requiring turn signals be used continuously for at least 100 ft (30 m) before changing lanes,as well as other codes which may be cited by an officer. Many other states have identical codes, derived from the Uniform Vehicle Code.

I do this too, but once, a tailgater got really pissed off and overtook me only to slam into the back of a group of cars that were slowing because of a minor accident a quarter mile up the road. Well, I tried to warn her that traffic was backing up :confused2:

I may have a slightly modded Motorcycle Mods taillight if your internals are good. My light is fried(well, except 3 leds) and is just taking up space. Let me know if ya want it.
Ya gotta watch-out every day you're on the road, you never know what idiot is approaching from what direction. I just saw a BMW spin-out on the interstate in Miami this past week, driving entirely too-fast for a torrential downpour. Happened right in-front of me, I went around him on the left while he was demonstrating his lack of driving skills across four lanes of traffic-diagonally!
My senior year of high school in MI, one of my best friends bought an absolutely gorgeous 1966 Chevelle SS396 4-speed, two years old. It was blue almost the electric blue that Mark Donohue ran on Roger Penske's Sunoco cars. "Marina Blue," I think. As-soon as he bought it, he took it to the tire shop & replaced the GM Rallye wheels w/chrome reverse-rim wheels & one of the original Goodyear Polyglas GT tire sets, RWL of-course. It was really pretty. The first week he had it, he was waiting in-line on the road out of the city headed to home, on a lake very close to the Paw Paw MI summer ride. So he was in the habit of watching his rear-view mirror, and saw a crazy driver closing much-too-fast, so he calmly put it into gear, and pulled onto the shoulder & up a couple of lengths. The driver slammed-into the car he was behind, and pushed that car into the one in-front. My buddy waited until the cars in-front of them cleared-out from the light, and pulled back onto the road, and continued on his way.
"Watch your six!" (o'clock position)
If he had totaled his car the first week, what would we have done for the next two years, until he bought the new '70 1/2 Z28? The parties, the women, the concerts, the trips? Would things have changed like on "Fringe?"
For fun he drove sprints and midgets but was too-big to fit into the turbo Offy Indy cars his Dad owned (he was a power-lifter and owned his own exercise equipment manufacturing company).
Like this, but his was a coupe:
