Thumbs down Wrecked the 8 :(

And it wasn't my fault.

I had JUST gotten out of work, got to the stop sign....turned left.... started driving north-bound ...

Guy that's parked tries to make illegal UTURN to go south-bound (IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET? WTF ILLEGAL)...didn't see me

I was like OMG WTF is he doing!...... tried dodging.......too late SMACK!

Poor baby

Suggestions? Mazdaspeed front at his expense or WHAT?!?

yes i did the claim

oh btw cop that did the police report......yeah he has an RX-8 too <3 he was not happy either when I told him the story

Picz for Pr00f and ...... to make all of you sad aswell....

ouch, sorry to hear about the car but based on the color....you had to have known it was only a matter of time.

Fortunately the damage doesn't seem too bad, a good body shop should have you fixed up soon.

The wheel looks pushed up into the fender...is that just an illusion? is it driveable or did you need a tow?

Ya, looks like the wheels were pushed back into the fender and ripped off that covering.

Thats rough, but you're okay right?

Some jackass hit my front end (again 2nd time in 3 months, not my fault) and I had to get it replaced, new hood, bumper, headlight, and fender.

But I did have the body shop do some fun things free of charge to me, no ms front though :/.

Use this as an excuse to get some upgrades

Yeah i'm ok guys thanks.

The wheel looks pushed in but the car was pretty low already with the s-techs...and then the fender kind of got pushed in...

Its semi-drivable......ish...

From what I see theres some interior damage such as the oil cooler and ( I REALLY hope not!!) suspension might need to be looked over.

I'm also going to need a new rim

I'm gonna go at this guy with EVERYTHING, I want this car as it was before, or even better.

This sucks.

Well today I decided to redline my car down the highway through a few gears and some dumbass decides to be a hotshot and try to change lanes because I guess he thought I was going to fast or my K&N was to loud, long story short he wasn't ready to die so he didn't do it.

Oh no poor 8. People just don't pay attention these day. I was rear ended last year december. Dude in a silverado wasn't paying attention but mines a WB. Good thing theres no WB curse going around.
