RIP rx8 (a tribute to our fallen comrades)

I am starting this thread not as a gallery to look at wrecked 8's for entertainment, but rather as a place where us totaled 8 survivors can come together and know we are not alone. Yes, that sounds sappy, but when you lose your 8 and go to a local meet and see everybody enjoying their 8's, only then will you understand.

So, I will start this off. RIP KIT, totalled about 3 weeks ago. Story: On my way to work, bout 7am, got sideswiped by a Civic who sent me into both (left and right side) guardrails. You may ask how I would lose control with such a great handling car, well, both my rear tires were bald. I was waiting for winter to replace. End of story, he drove off and I was screwed.

yeah i wasnt payin attention as to who was the driver, but my GF saw that it was a man, as the cops where askin me question some lady runs in screaming "that it was HIS (my) fault", as the cops tell her to calm down they ask her who she was and she replied that she was the driver of the van that hit me, then they asked her for a DL and she didnt have one! while that was goin on my GF went over to the van and she saw the guy standing there, as she was inspecting the van lookin for damage she noticed that the guy stunk of alcohol...

crazy ****, i cant believe she tried to put the blame on me when she had no DL or insurance and her "passenger" stunk of alcohol...

Damn, well at least you got them cheap so you didn't lose to much. We all know that once its totaled, the insurance company owns everything except for your loose shat in da cab n trunk.
