I crashed my RX-8..Lawsuit suited?
i didnt bounce off the curb, i went freaking airborne. Also the A-pillar got bent where an AIRBAG IS LOCATED along with frame. And i have seen cars airbags go off when the front left fender gets bent. SO basically what you guys are saying is i have to damn well near dead for the airbags deploy?
and for all the people bagging on me, i just wanted a simple yes or no answer, and can i get that? NO

mazda has undoubtedly read this this morning as they read the forum everyday. your posting here about this crash and what lead to it just gave them evidence to use against you in your lawsuit.
they can show that you have a pattern of driving which can lead to abuse of the transmission. not only that but by mentioning your dad was there they can say that he contributed to this abuse by allowing you to drive in this manner.
Even though some synchros have been faulty you had to prove YOURS were faulty. Now they can sit back and let you try to prove you DIDNT abuse them. good luck with that.

Lower control arm is not defective and will not crack.
They are looking for 1 control arm that was defective and left the factory.
Air bags depend upon direct impact at certain angles. You did not meet that criteria. There is science in this.
Believe me... its not the cars fault. You lost control.
Sorry to hear what happened, but you need to stop. Look from the outside and learn from your mistake.

alright its just hard to understand when you have 3 different mechanics who saw the car in person saying that the airbags whouldve definitely come out. So my bad, but hopefully you can understand where im coming froml

The synbcros grinding dont have to do with aggressive driving in the transmission since the original transmission in the 04 models have a weaker fork and syncros put in causing them to crack. It doesnt have to be driven aggressively. Also how does driving aggressively(when not shifting) affect the tranny? Can you answer that? because i was in the same gear the whole time buddy.
In court,
In your particular case,
The aggressive driving, totaling your car while 'racing', and blown transmission issues demonstrate a pattern that you are not using the car for it's intended use.
I don't see the Koni Challenge teams suing Mazda for warranty on their race cars.

My dad laughed at me for it. He was there and saw the whole thing, because i was driving well. I also drove around this turn several times so i mean dont try to trash talk me. I am just trying to gather information.
And im sorry if you think its wrong im not grounded for life or that my dad isnt sueing me. Sorry im a minor and my dad actually cares for me rather than the car.

If he cared about you, he would be teaching you a lesson in how not to be irresponsible with things that can endanger your life and everyone around you and not on how to put blame on someone else when you've obviously screwed up big time.
Both you and your dad are at fault (him for the blatantly crappy upbringing).
