I'm not going to go into any details about what happened until the insurance claim is settled, but know the odo read 996 when it happened.

I apologize to everyone who loves this car. No injuries tho!

Please dont tell me thats a Silver. My odometer reads 830 right now...

 

irvine center drive!

 

sorry, friend, about your car...

 

Wow, that sucks! That's gonna take a lot of work to fix. Hopefully it can be done! Good luck with that.

 

Pulling out of the IVC parking lot onto Jeffrey.

 

cant wait to read the story behind this one. glad no one was hurt, but that looks crazy.

 

lol another silver....

 

Holy.... ****....

 

Hey, uh... watch that curb.

 

Holy ****! What the hell did you have to do to get the invert top/bottom mod!??!


Seriously, are you ok?

 

WOW, I hope you are ok!!! I bet they total the car ... next time get a diff color?

Damn, the curse strikes again ... but seriously, I hope you are safe and sound.

 

I'm totally fine. Those B pillars in the doors really held up. Sittin upside down in the car, the drivers side door opened no problem. After they flipped it over, all 4 doors and the trunk opened just fine so I could get my stuff out. The only part that collapsed was the front of the roof where it meets the windshield....and not much.

 

JEEBUS!! glad your ok!

 

Wow I've always had these fear of flipping a car due to bad weather conditions/bad driving on my part. I want to hear the story on this!!!!
Glad your ok.

 

You Bastard, people like you are going to make my insurance go up!!!! J/K Glad to see that you're ok. Looks like the roof head up pretty good and too bad its another Sunlight Silver. First RX8 I've seen upside down..................

 

That did hold up rather well considering it rolled. Glad you are alright.

 

How long do you think we have to wait for the story? I bet it's a good one ... I've heard the 8 is virtually unflippable.

 

Perhaps he shouldnt tell the story. I'm sure a lot of these nice posts, the "oh, I'm glad you're not hurt" posts, etc.. will soon turn into flames.

 

Not from me...well, unless he was drunk.

 

Quick update. Insurance just called, the car is a total loss, they're not even going to inspect it. Should be finalized by the end of next week, or so they tell me. Sorry to leave you all hanging on the details, but I thought you'd like to see those pictures. Anybody have any experience with this kind of insurance thing? I've never been in an accident before so this is sorta "virgin ground" for me.

And I DEFINITELY was NOT drunk. I was just leaving a 4 hour writing class.

 

Unless you have gap insurance your going to get Book value TODAY. Don't know how you paid for it but is there are no other pockets to go after you will lose some money.

 

Good, then there will be no flaming from me! I'm glad they totalled it though, you could never rebuild from that amount of damage and be satisfied.

Will wait patiently for the story on how you flip an 8 .... :twiddles thumbs:

 

Were you leaving the 4 hour writing class at 110 mph?? haha just kidding, I won't start...

Man that looks pretty gnarly though, I also live right next to IVC.

 

OMG! I will not say all the obvious things that come to mind. I'm really glad you are OK. Yet another total with no injuries. This is one fine car for accidents as far as protecting the passengers go. I look forward to your explanation. Good luck with all the insurance issues.
