Damn, Al. Glad it didn't happen at speed, and you are OK!

I would think you would have a case for Mazda covering it if they documented your complaint a month ago. If the dealer can't get it covered under warranty I'd try calling MNAO and seeing if you get anywhere with them.

Deff black. You want them? A friend of my dad's works at a body shop as a painter so I could get them painted for you if you need/want.

Thanks for checking on the aero flares - but I'm gonna pass - (I already have them, but they're nicked up - thot if they were SS and in good cond., I'd take em', but it'd cheaper to paint the ones I have.) Thanks, tho.

I'll just have to steal one off of somebody's car at a meet. I will distract them with "hey look - a running RX-7!"

Really I just wanted to be on the list.

Of course it is. When I have a moment to breathe, I'll be contacting MNAO to get some help with my dealership.

Rear ended!

Got rear ended this evening near Gurnee Mills from a mom in a hurry to pick up her son. Damage was minimal. I'm sure I'll need a new rear bumper, but the frame on her accord tore through hers. My exhaust surrounds, mudguards, and rear accent are fine.

I assume because of the metallic paint that the damage could be over $500. I've got full coverage, we have the same insurance company, and obviously it wasn't my fault. Will I still have to pay a deductible? Would getting a MS rear bumper be cheaper?

Crap. What a way to start a weekend.
