Scott just texted me a picture of a red miata with a hardtop that was rearended up on a flat bed. There was no text with it but I can only assume it is his :(

 

Noooooooo.
I hope not.

 

ouch :(

hope not

 

That would suck.

Here is hoping for the unlikely best.

 

oh it's his :(

 

looks more like a pole or something

 

I was in the passenger seat... the pole and I are now friends. I have the actual high res pics but no camera cord. I will post them in the AM.

We came around a really sharp corner, and scott accelerated coming out of the corner on a concrete bridge (wet and weird textured), the rear end went ape **** and we spun about 15 yards and ended up on a Pepco pole. Talk about a headache. Impact was enough to do all that you see, plus destroyed the differential.

 

Drifto?

 

welp i guess we better find a good deal for a red 1.6 on craigslist. glad you guys are ok. minus the headache.

 

aw ****, that sucks, i did it too a while back(spun out in the wet in a turn avoiding a groundhog) show a picture of the side, maybe not even cost all that much to fix,

 

Sucks big time, atleast no one was seriously injured.

 

Looks toast to me.

Is that a crack in the hardtop glass?

Sucks to hear dude. I am sure it will be return better then it was!

 

Glad you are both OK. That should buff right out. Bang out the quarter panel and everything else is bolt-on.

 

mine was probably worse, miata parts aren't all that expensive, even new. the quarter on mine was the most expensive and i think i only paid like $400 new from mazda for it, maybe less.

 

The rear quarter is not replacable last time I checked... Parts I consider totaled:
RQPanel
trunk
center "trunk thing"
rear tail
Front QP
Diff
Front drivers side arm (possibly)

Its a hell of a lot of stuff.

 

it really might no really be all that bad, when i crashed, i replaced... f bumper,L fender, L door, L quarter panel, r bumper, tail lights, mirrors, and a bunch of various things. i weighed the costs of fixing mine or buying another a swapping over, i came out cheaper fixing it because i wasn't going to accept buying an old POS that looked like ****, this way i came out with fresh panels and paint.

 

****!!!! Sorry man!!!!

Rear 1/4s are a stock item in mazda dealers computers.. they're around 400 a pop..

 

Damn sorry to see that :(

 

At least now he can get a white one and be really fast!

 

Agreed white > all
