Nobody hurt. The other guy was very affable and did a great job at concealing his anger at having had the back bumper of his Volvo XC90 ripped off. I felt like such a fuckwit.

This doesn't fill me with warm fuzzy confidence should this car ever get rear-ended. Look at photo 3/3.

Airbags and everything else are designed for front or collision, not rear.

Probably time to consider that- idiot drivers are getting more idiotic...

Yeah I don't know why he thought airbags should pop from a rear collision. But the head restraint failure worried me.

I'd be curious to see an interior dashcam of what happened. Seems really strange. Did it snap off from his head hitting it?

It's been a long drawn-out business but we got our car back today. The delay was mostly because of parts availability problems. They could not find a new lower bumper skin, so I gave them the go ahead buy used. It's perfect but for a barely noticeable scuff on the spoiler lip - right down low; they knocked $200 off the bill. They've done a great job though - can't believe how their paint guy managed the match - but he did. 

I'd almost forgotten how much of a pleasure it is to drive this thing. Very different to the wheezy asthmatic rental 4Runner, which I will not miss.

Good to hear the paint was matched well. I think it's no longer an issue for good shops. People always said that when the color first came out, but I think it's pretty well-known now
