Tuesday afternoon, I got T-Boned by a gal driving a small car (Honda) who ran a stop sign.

I have no idea how fast she was going, (I was doing about 25 or so) but she hit me with enough force to spin me completely around in a 180, on damp, but not icy pavement.

The strange part is she managed to hit me square on the rear wheel of my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I was unable to locate any damage whatsoever, other than a slight curl in the edge of the wheel rim--not hardly noticable unless you looked carefully, and the tire did not deflate.

And I had to go on the road today, and it seemed to drive just fine.

The same could not be said of her Honda, however.

No one was hurt, of course.

good to hear all are OK - hat's off to the automotive engineers. Might have been a different outcome 30 years ago

Better check and make sure the axle is not bent. If its out even a few thousandths it'll show up in tire wear. Glad to hear your ok too.

Glad you are OK, I would at least get a 4 wheel alignment at ol' Schwab's, you well then know that the Jeep's OK. JR
