this is what happens when an rx7 and an rx8 collide

so i got into a little fender bender last night after pickin up a friend from work. noone was hurt except the cars. just always make sure you check your blind spots when you pull away from a curb. this is what happened to my car from cutting off my friend in his 93 rx7.

That sucks man! I know what it feels like to have a damaged car.. You always wonder why the hell you have insurance until something like that happens.

so when i went to get pics of the seven on friday i got there right after the tow truck had left from picking up the car so sorry guys i couldnt get pics of it. i can tell you the the front passenger fender was messed up, the bumper was pushed over towards the drivers side, the headlight was stuck up and pushed over a bit, the sidemarker was broken out, and the tie rod end was bent so badly to where when the wheels were straight it looked kinda like this ! \ . for being such a slow speed wreck it caused a ton of damage to his car
