The Curse Strikes Again
Hey all, as you probably know by the title, I have an SS colored RX-8. Well, about a week and a half ago I went cruising up Mt. Hamilton (if you are from the bay area you know where this is) and its a 2 way 2 lane road thru most of the drive, but there are a couple of sections where it goes to 1 lane and you have to slow down to let people squeeze thru. well apparently not everyone slows down, apparently some people drive right down the middle going full speed! so this apparent decision by some *** 
: made me swerve into the side of the mountain 
... well heres the results... she will be in the body shop for a bit, need to have the headlight replaced and the front bumper, the fog light, and i think the oil cooler might need to be straightened out too... im not sure... but we will see...

Haven't seen you post in awhile bro. Sorry to hear about your accident. I agree with a previous poster. Take this as an opportunity to get a MS bodykit. I believe you already have the wing.

Ouch, sorry to hear about the car. Seem like silver and bay area 8's are running into quite some badluck.
Now theres a silver lining (no pun intended) you get a full kit finally to finish the car off. Good luck with it keep us posted.

Well, it could have been worse. Hopefully, there's no internal damage. Now you have a reason to get a body kit :-D
Just avoid that bar where someone kicks your bumper.

what a dirtbag the other driver is, forcing you off the road, then bailing out. I love how people are so nice these days.
Sorry to see your car has been busted up. Hope it gets fixed quick.
