anyways - That collision center is where my 8 is too!! haha...i talked to Crystal there - she seems real cool and keeps me posted. -and as far as my repairs; it started late last week. My ins company originally stated they were gonna hold off but the people who were sent to inspect it basically said 'there's no way in hell this could've been your fault' haha! so yeah, evidently things are going pretty well and should be back in my 8 by the beginning of september - hopefully!

As for Jimmy, this was a while ago. The guy at the collision center was the main guy in charge for a long time at Tustin Mazda. Jimmy was not the boss until he was hired back. I'm not sure when all this happened. I'm just not a big fan of the guy I guess =/

and that's soooo much crap that jimmy took the spot back - like you said, i don't get a positive feeling from that guy...

I keep forgetting how many women are out there that like the 8 enough to have one themselves.

Sounds good to me, but it better be good
Edit: I know you said your boss said she could beat you in a race, I had to same thing happen to me at my old job!
My boss had a 350z and kept asking me to race him.
Unfortunately the 8 would probably lose in a drag race, but when it comes to twisties they're a pretty close comparison

Sorry to hear about the accident and am glad that you are okay. Hope that you will be able to get another 8. I wouldn't want to drive yours even if it was fixed.
Did the Ford minivan run a redlight or stop sign?

No Voodoo involved
So it's easily seen that it's not a curse, it's statistics. More silver cars are involved in accidents simply because there are more silver cars than any other color.
I prefer silver, have owned several silver cars going back over 30 years, and never wrecked any of them. I was, however, hit by an old woman in a beige Plymouth when I was in my red Landcruiser back in the mid-eighties. My wife has been hit in a blue Subaru and a red Subaru. So I have to admit no personal experience at all with any color-related curse, though red is kind of suspect...

We were at a blind intersection, facing eachother (both with green lights). I was taking a left in the intersection; he was going straight. We met as I was completing my left turn. I was cited for "failing to yield to oncoming traffic", but we'll see how it goes. He might have been driving a little fast

Insanely Yellow
Too bad they don't sell Lightning Yellow anymore. My car doesn't even have a door ding on it. The yellow creates a force field of invincibility around it.

Side air bags worked, that's good, front end damage... is there a Mazdaspeed front air dam in the works? Sounds like you're ok and that's the most important.
