Yesterday at about 2am in the morning, as I was heading home my 91 was killed [totalled]. Some ******* in an Explorer had just left the casino after watching a fight, took a RED light onto my Miata. I have to say I was extremely lucky as the Explorer was less than a foot away from T-boning ME!. All I saw was bright lights and BOOM!!! the car looked like a beer can at a frat party. As I was still in the car and I saw the driver of the Explorer outside looking at my car. He grab his head, and RAN AWAY, yes the ************ took off on foot . A little after the Fire Rescue showed up and took me to the hospital. At the end of the night I learned that the driver that ran away IS the owner of the car that hit me, however the tag on the car at the time of the accident IS NOT the one that belongs to that particular vehicle. The driver was extremely intoxicated, as his girlfriend when she showed up at the scene describing that he had gotten home yelling that he had crashed. There's a high possibility that the Explorer doesnt have any type of insurance. In other words Im fucked and I have to go after this idiot in a civil case to cover my losses and medical bills, as I only have the PIP required by law.

Well I can say that I was lucky as Im still here, but is sad to see my car go like that when I was weeks short of finishing my project.

 

Damn that sucks

got any pics?

 

Lol, no I was taken to the hospital right away. Ill probably take some once I go to the Junk Yard to pick it up.

 

part out?

 

Yeah, what you need??

 

tilt dont you need a w/b

 

Who cares about the car. At least YOU are OK.

 

I know like I said lucky for me the car took most of the hit not me. However Im left upside down, specially when is unsure whether the other driver had insurance or not. Meaning I might end up with large bills and a lengthy litigation for damages.

 

That sucks man, glad you're ok. Why the hell you out at 2AM?

I'm sorry dude. I nearly got hit in my Miata on Friday...most of my parts are in my office and not on the car, so it'd make starting over easier, but I was in that split second dreading looking for another car.

Glad you're safe, get through this and then figure out how to continue your next project.

 

How's your rear window?

Damn you guys are brutal..only been about 12 hours and you're already scavenging for parts...

Sorry about the car man, get another one and make her better.

 

Id love to get that PLX w/b from you, unless you want to keep it for a future project

 

Buffon check your policy most have underinsured and uninsured coverage percisely for that reason. Mine only costs like 50 bucks and does 20k50k i believe. Its a pretty standard option most people gloss over.

 

I have the minimun the state requires, which in Florida is not much we are a No Fault state. Im trying to get to some co-workers to see what my next move should be.

I'll let you know when I get it out

My top has a plastic window

-_-

 

Glad to hear you're ok. Really sucks about the car though. I recently looked at a 93 over here in Naples. She wanted $1500 for it if you're interested.

 

^^^ lulz ... Ill keep in mind. I dont have a cent on me right now though :(

 

KY is a no fault state as well and this is as i said a pretty standard rider. Considering you didnt waive the pip, etc i bet you have it check your policy.

 

Just talked to one of the attorneys I work for. He'll be sending letters out sometime this week to request policy limits. Ill post about it when I find out more.

 

you can live again to build another miata. I everything works out.
