terch1 05-13-2010 07:26 PM

Scoot RX-8 05-13-2010 07:34 PM

Sorry about that ... bad luck!

At least you are alright!

What a dumb ass!

Spinning Sushi 05-13-2010 07:36 PM

That will buff right out.

Neo 05-13-2010 07:37 PM

Damn, that sucks. I hope insurance finds a decent repair shop.
Or make them go to a decent repair shop.

New bumper, new trunk, possibly something happening under the bumper skin.

I hope it gets fixed up alright.

People nowadays can't drive. Where the hell is our driver education?!?!

mscamp02 05-13-2010 07:48 PM

rear quarter looks dented up to. that sucks

ZmFnZm 05-13-2010 07:53 PM

Ouch!!!

Speed_8 05-13-2010 08:04 PM

i have a better excuse than yours lol... when i got rear ended, the guy told me that was already there lol and he dent my trunk fram 5000 dollars to fix it cdn..

ckrx8 05-13-2010 08:14 PM

This is a bad month for 8s. I got dinged too in front on the driver side... hit and run =\

Thorrsson 05-14-2010 05:54 AM

Hey Guys,

Yup i am ok, I was stopped dead behind another car in the left turn lane. Dumbass came up and hit slow then kept pushing, i laid on the horn to get the car out of my way in front of me so it wouldn't be messier than it already was.
He stopped and then did it again... i blew through the red to get away from him and had to flag him down after his turn. he didn't even realize he had hit me!

Both rear quarters are bent, the trunk lid and the bumper are messed. I drove it home from the scene and it felt dodgy so they towed me to the reporting center and then to the body shop.
Work is being done by Keiswetter Mazda's body shop in Kitchener, they are authorized by my insurance company and i have seen the work they do (it is flawless).

I am sure that my rims got damaged *wink wink, nudge nudge* and my front bumper must have been damaged somehow too...need a MS kit now lol... think that they will buy it?

Speed_8 05-14-2010 08:47 AM

lol i got rear ended and some how got my left front speaker replaced lol.. its 811 for a bose in the car.

Footman 05-14-2010 10:34 AM

$881 just for the front lef tspeaker?

rx8-druggist 05-14-2010 10:40 AM

Frig, that's brutal. At least you're okay !!! It's always a worry of mine being in the left turn lane like you were, that some bozo is going to plow into me and there won't be much I can do about it !!

paulmasoner 05-14-2010 10:46 AM

well you can likely get something out of it... when i was rear ended i got the MS exhaust out of the deal. OEM catback was ~500 and MS was ~575. I had the shop order the MS, and USAA never as much as questioned it being that it came from Mazda dealer and priceing was so close

Ka Kui 05-14-2010 04:28 PM

Just a head's up, I got back from the dealership yesterday, and all the Mazdaspeed Parts went up in price. The front bumper is now $2500 before tax. However, I'm not sure about the performance parts, but the non-performance parts went up in price though.

Also the rear Mazdaspeed bumper requires the use of your existing bumper. You cut the rear portion of the OEM, and mount the diffuser to it. That's gone up in price too, used to be around 800, now near $1500, for pretty much half a bumper.

RXeckless 05-14-2010 06:07 PM

I'm telling you SUV and trucks really don't see us. Buy a loud exhaust so at least they hear us if their not on there cell phones. In Markham I almost get wacked at least once a week. My sympathy go out to you.

climacus 05-15-2010 01:00 AM

There is a reason why Volvo is rolling out that anti-fender bender collision system. The world is full of lazy, sh-tty people who think driving a two tonnes car is a joke. The scary part is most of these people will soon hit retirement age, become senile and refuse to give up their driver's licenses. Get ready for carnage.

Thorrsson 05-15-2010 07:29 AM

I tried for a MS rear set up, but the Dealership said it wouldn't fly because of the price changes.

He is getting me OEM everything at least. The Exhaust was not damaged at all (the bottom of his bumper was well above the tips)

Estimate is $6000 for the repairs...yikes

holy crap balls. Forget investing in real estate or stocks... just buy mazdaspeed parts. Those prices are rediculous... are they just trying to price that shit out so that no one buys it any more?

Footman 05-15-2010 09:18 AM

^ I think so Rev... makes sense. The S1 parts are getting more rare too now, they just want to milk the enthusiasts...

Smokin_LaLa 05-17-2010 01:49 PM

Bummer thorsson, but at least you're alright!
