16yr old girl took out my burb...bummer

Had the wife and kids with me last night to a local cruise. Had a nice time.
Left there and was cruising down the main 5-lane coming to stopped traffic at a lite.

Almost to a complete stop when I notice the car behind me coming fast.....

Hit me hard enough to push me 6 or so feet into the car in front of me.

Me and the wife were just talking at the cruise that we were going to list the burb forsale. Go figure.

We're all ok. The 16yr old girl who hit me was shaken up, but ok. And the fella I hit was ok. So I guess that's good news.

How do I get hit by a 06 Honda car, and get pushed into a 04 Pontiac Vibe, and my 69 Burb gets the most real damage??? Go figure.

All my new front bumper, filler, and grille assm. is wasted. I think the frame and sheetmetal is ok.
My rear bumper is toast, but luckily I still had the ball mount in the receiver of the hitch from the weekend before when we took our little canned ham to a show.
The ball mount, ball and bumper held her up before she got the the barn doors.
The middle of the bumper is touching the body, but doesn't appear to have pushed the sheetmetal.

That $25. ball mount hanging out there 7-8 inches saved me from expensive repairs out back.

Anyway....that was the excitement for my weekend...bummer
