But I'm posting anyway.
My 2005 Mazda RX-8 ended up like this in November thanks to a Silver Mazda 3.
So I bought a 2004 Mustang GT
And today I got a call from a dealer and found out I will be trading the Mustang in on This:
I'm back and I'm happy.

But.
The RX-8 is the better car.
Long story short. I didn't see her, she didn't see me. Turning at a blind intersection. Coast looked clear, then there she was. Side swiped the front and took everything with it. Her car was barely damaged. No one was put at fault. So while I didn't get a ticket, my insurance still had to cut me a $25,000 check so my rates did rise. Not too much though.

You should have gotten a Crossfire, it's the most funnerest car ever!

So what are the stats on your new 8?

thanks.
The stats are it's a 04 RX-8 with 28,000 miles. Leather, NAV, sunroof, 6 speed, HID lights...all that jazz. Basically everything available but the aero package and a spoiler.
I already have a spoiler on order as well as exhaust....OBX of course.

^ true that. I'm amazed how safe this car's crumple zones have been designed. The only crashes I've seen (in pictures) that have the cage compromised were the ones that went on fire.
Other than that, no matter how bad the accident, this car really shines even when crumpled. Speaking from experience here.
