Those pictures make it look like the ****** car had it's head decapitated and the entrails were spilling out. Gruesome.
No...the amazing part is that you didn't think there was anything wrong with driving at 90 mph on bald tires.
I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

Well on the brightside Mazda ensured that he walked away to learn that very valuable lesson. I have no doubt that he won't be making that same mistake ever again...

Sorry to hear about that man, glad your ok. I don't know if anyone else said it but there looked like a bit of a steep slide down the hill on the other side of the guard rail. Those things really held up hitting them at less than 90mph. RIP

Dude, I would delete this thread. If your insurance co. finds out you were drivining that fast they will site wreckless driving and fight your claim and will definately drop you. Then your rates will be phenominal. Either way, not a good thread. Should have just said you had a blow out or something.
those pix look awful.. least ur ok

That's why I keep telling you guys to join me at the track for HDPE.
Anyways I need some parts.
Anyway I can get some?
Glad your ok. If you can wait I would buy a junker, as in the next two years Mazda's really gonna have some nice cars that you want like the Kabura.
Or you could say F it and get a Cobra, Z06.. Elise?

Was thinking the same with traction control but with those rears so smooth I'm not sure if that would have helped.
Had to dodge the animal that was crossing the road... or there was a pothole that tweaked the steering and put the car into a spin.
Running tires that smooth is almost as bad as not having insurance and letting the neighbor kid borrow the car for his first time driving.
Sad to hear but reinforces the crash safety of the 8.

Even though bald tires put a lot of rubber on the road, it probably wasn't the rubber that the tire manufacturer meant to be on the road. You were probably driving on the construction rubber (hard, plasticky, NOT sticky or grippy) with all of the tread compound long gone.
Glad to see you're OK. That must have been a scary-as-hell experience.

Dtorre, Nrider stop being ********, you're already good at it! I do'nt recall reading any where in this thread that AdictiveRX had his DSC off........ why would he be doing that speed on a main road with the traction control off? ''feel the love'' jees! the guy just had a f*cked up accident and lucky 2 b alive...

Dang, I'm glad you didn't hurt anyone else or yourself, bad decision, but no more salt.
Glad your OK and sorry you have to say bye bye to your 8. I hate to see pic's like that.

Besides, the front of the Kabura makes me puke.
