man, sorry you had to go through that. I hope I never have to experience that. Good to hear you love the Rotary and got yourself another [white one].

Welcome to the club.

Welcome to the club.
You must be the first to understand the 'curse of the silvers' before joining the club!
Congrats on the new ride.

Glad you will always drive a rotary just stop driving into things...

Sounds like you weren't hurt, better the wall than other cars.

Better luck with the new 8. Welcome!

If only our car came with the new knee airbags that are arriving on more cars now.

It must have messed up the frame and the engine pretty bad.

Look at the fender..looks like it got pinched pretty well. Surprised the door isn't mis-aligned.

Can I get that transmission?
