Totaled
Hey guys, I know this is not the best thread of them all, but well today, I totaled my rx8 I was devastated, still am. I was driving the speed limit, going northbound on a street, some girl turns in front of me causing me to T-bone her. My 8 is now totaled and her car didnt stand a chance. 3 witnesses say that I was definitly not at fault so that means a new rx8 for me :D (you gotta look at the good things) At first I could not stop crying, I am an 18 year old college student working my butt off to afford this car, my baby, and now it's gone. I was not injured at all thank god, The rx8 is amazing to say the least. The whole front end crushed like an accordian and there was NO spec of dust moved in the cabin, all the airbags worked fine and I came out of it perfect, just shooken up and devasted at the look of my 8. My dad took pictures of the whole accident, if you guys don't want to see it, I understand, I am still teary eyed. I love my RX8 to pieces, and now that is all it is.
The moral? The rx8 is one hell of a beast, I felt so safe in it, and yes I still do, even after totaling, I thank god that I was driving that and not another car.
5/5 star crash rating

You'd be surprised what insurance companies don't consider "totalled". Wish you the best of luck that your car IS totalled. You wouldn't want them fixing it !

Wow, sorry about that dude, at least you're well.
I only hear good things about the RX8 holding up in crashes and we hear a lot about them: about once every week and a half. I hope the other driver is ok as well. Now, you've got a decision: 1.Save money and get a 2004. Or get an 05. You could actually be getting a brand new loaded 8 for this.

I'm so sorry to hear about this and I can COMPLETELY relate. I wrecked mine 2 weeks ago and the cost of damage keeps going up. Everything will work out fine, be glad you're not hurt and know that it could always be worse.

chalk up another to the Silver graveyard I thought about silver but now i am kinda glad, they just seem to be a magnet for wrecks. If i were you, i would try and get another color, but Silver is very nice though..

As for your 5/5 safety rating, I totally agree. I took a direct side impact into the head of a guard rail at probably ~45mph (guesstimate) at impact, and came out without a scratch. The car jumped up about 2 feet in the air and came down hard, yet no roll-over. It's got a 5 star roll-over rating, and handles like it's driving on rails. I'll take a small RX-8 over a huge suburban any day of the week.

All you guys are great! you guys make me feel a lot better. Yes I am still going to definitely get another RX8 and probably silver, I love the silver, but I will look for others. As for the wreck, I am getting better out of it, still shocked but that is normal. And for the great question...no, I am definitely not gay haha. Thanks for the posts though

Therefore I predict he gets a Mustang GT (cheaper, more HP, more signs of **** craftsmanship that teenagers love to love),
I'd buy another in a second.
