Bumper Cars

As I awaited my turn at the traffic light this morning, the freeze frames through my rearview mirror looked like this:

#1 - Fast approaching car, driven by a scrunchy-faced man, squinting intently against the glaring sun.
#2 - While approaching car maintains its speed, frowning driver's face is replaced with wide-eyes and the slow-motion mouthing of "OH S%$T."
#3 - Grimaces by all parties involved and... CONTACT.   

Snapshots of the continuing scene outside the cars:

#4 - The other driver and me, peering at each other's bumpers -- and the exchange of each other's green and grey paint. 
#5 - Me photographing the offending driver's license (w/iPhone).
#6 - Me recording him reciting his phone number (w/iPhone).
#7 - Drivers politely bidding each other farewell, with promise of follow up if any soreness or alignment issues ensue.

The smoothest and friendliest car accident I've ever had!
