Thats crazy to walk away from that with only minor injuries.

Well, in the report it says "Two-Door Mazda", but I guess with the damage it is now only a regonizeable two doors anyway.

Jokes aside, the driver is very, very lucky to be alive, let alone without serious injuries. :Eyecrazy:

Damn... another one bites the dust :( He must've been going at least 50.

On the plus side, my resale value just went up :D

Silver curse... All silvers beware, you could be next...

Looks like a 2004 TG to me.

RX-8's, like most all true sports cars, are unforgiving of distracted driving.

As did your insurance rates. :uhh:

Sad to see that 8 wrecked like that, and that is one lucky guy to walk away from that...

A parked fire truck with flashing lights and cones setup does not suddenly pop up in front of you while reaching for your cell phone. He was probably texting or surfing the web while driving. The picture looks worse because it was after they cut the car apart to get him out.

I'm really glad that I've got blue tooth in my R3 and it automatically
links itself when I start the car. And your probably right about the guy texting or surfing.
Cell phones suck but we all have them now, they have there pros and cons. We all just need to a little smarter on how we use them(when and where)

totaled plus :)

Another rx8 to the junkyard. Anyway, good news that no one died.

Wow, this is one of the worst I have seen. I can't believe he was not hurt bad.

how is this 50,000 in damage.

pay me 50,000 and ill fix that with a can of spraypaint and a hammer. 50k pure profit.

i just love how they worried more about the minor damage of the fire truck and said it cost 50k! and only 10k on the rx8. lol really?? as said up above 10k+ damn city....

Of all the things to run into. At least with a fire truck you get rescued right away and won't have to worry about burning alive in your car...

My guess is that the doors in the back of the truck do not open any more, and notice the hit on the rear wheel. Likely hit it hard enough to move it due to the wheel rotation.

Damn! Don't think I've ever seen an 8 get that badly damaged

like i said, a hammer and spraypaint. ;)

Ha... $10,000 vs $50,000. win for the Mazda!

wtb ti grey trunk with spoiler

Probably bent the truck's frame which is why it's estimated at 50 grand. Pretty sure the RX8's frame was bent too, not sure would have to take a closer look at the pics.

Somebody was looking for 2 OEM wheels, he should hit this guy up :)

lol the rx8 frame is bent? I would say its torn in half

I still call 50k as BS ... this is why the country is broke and we can't have nice things
