    The crash pics are in. We just drove from the Alabama gulf coast to Indiana and nothing fell off. Note the DUCT tape holding the bumper on!

    Three bikes in the back...doesn't appear to be any damage to them.

    We were both a wee bit sore the next day, but I don't think that I feel any aftereffects today. hopefully there will be no lasting pain.

    Still not heard anything that tells us when the van gets fixed. thank goodness it's drivable.

    The sliding doors close, but the liftgate does NOT open. The bikes can be loaded and unloaded through the side doors, thankfully

    Glad you are all okay (I won't tell, though).
    That may be the nicest duct tape job I've ever seen!

    Agreed! Very smooth job -could hardly tell it from the bumper! Maybe you have another calling - a designer on "Design on a Dime"??
