okay so late last night (around 2am) I was heading back up from my Grandparents house on Hatteras Island in my liberty with the windows down and the radio up enjoying the warm weather. I was driving on a very rural road with trees on both sides and some nice curves, when all of a sudden I came around a bend in the road and my headlights reflected back at me. I was going 50 and barely had time to hit the brakes before I hit. There was a flat black Honda CRX sitting in the middle of the road with no lights on. It turns out that the 2 guys in the CRX were so Drunk that they had stopped and 'parked' their car in the middle of the street thinking that they were in a parking lot. The Sheriffs Dept and Highway Patrol came out and couldn't believe that no one was hurt because of the damage the Honda received. The car had a fibreglass body kit on it and when that was installed the owner had left the bumper substructure off so there was no protection in the rear at all. When I hit the car the hatch crumpled and sheared off of the car and was sitting on the ground in front of the car. The rear of the car was shoved almost to the front seatbacks (CRX has no rear seat) The cops also noticed that the taillights (what was left of them) were spray painted flat black like the body of the car and said that was probably why my headlights didn't pick up the reflectors until it was to late. The guy that was 'driving was so drunk that he couldn't tell the officers what his name was, or even what year it was. He also had no license, no insurance, the car had no tags on it and he had 2 warrants. I didn't have my camera so no pictures of the car. Now for the damage on the KJ:
That is right all I suffered was some scratches, a cracked parking light, scratched up plate and knocked off the fog light trim. I knew the ARB was good (this is my 3rd ARB) but I expected more damage than this, especially considering the condition of the Honda and the noise it made when I hit.. I am very impressed!

I almost took my wifes that night because it had more gas but at the last minute I decided to take mine because my Grandad wanted to check it out (He has an old Grand Wagoneer) I am glad I did, I don't wanna think about what the wife's would look like after hitting that car.
