Good Bye Miata :(

Dont know where to post this at. but this morning on my way to work , a lady decides to run the stop sign and hit me dead on. sad thing i just got this car and paid all at front , was using it for a drift car. im just glad i didnt take the 8 this morning. here are the pics. here is the stop sign she didnt stop at . i was on service road about to get on the hwy .

other lady didnt wear seat belt and flew out of window. but im glad she is going to be fine. witness said my car flew over a whole lane into a ditch. i barely missed the stop sign that is in front of my 8.

Wow. Thank heaven everyone is ok. It's just a car. PHEW. After the Virginia Tech incident, the last thing I needed to read was that someone was killed. Glad you are ok. Everything will work out fine.

I have a Miata too, and I'm glad to see they can take a devastating hit like that and the driver can walk away. Glad you're OK man...here's hoping that bimbo that hit you has solid insurance.

That really sucks about the car, but glad to hear you're okay. Actually, I'd say you're pretty lucky, looking at the pictures the passenger compartment looks relatively untouched. Also, a good reminder of why you should always wear your seatbelt.

Wow, you're a lucky guy! Good thing you weren't further into that intersection - it looks like she really tagged you. Glad you came out more or less unhurt!

Shame about the car, though.

Drunk drivers and/or red light & stop sign runners deserve to be punished severely.

That makes sense. I guess Eastex does imply east! I got confused with the northeast freeway, 59 north.

Poor little Miata. I'm glad you are okay. A 1/2 second later and it would have been a different story.
