here is a sample code of what i did above to display it as you see it...just remove the quotes and replace with the brackets in the test area to see what it does...

"url=http://hroman.slac.com/rx7/07-16-2004-HitandRun/IMG_0001.jpg]"img]http://hroman.slac.com/rx7/07-16-2004-HitandRun/tn/IMG_0001.jpg[/img"[/url"

basically using the "[url]" function with the "[img]" function...

Man Hector this is so messed up about your car. Maybe a drunk person or something hit you. Maybe we can find you a bumper and fender here in WA if you cant find one there. Good idea to put that bra on that I gave you to cover some of it up till you get new parts.

Im sorry about your car...such a bummer. ******* people.

The only second gen I ever owned got totalled when I got hit on the freeway by a couple of guys racing. They got away since it was the guy leading the race that hit me, but the good citizens followed the guy that was trailing.

The cops gave me the biggest hassle saying that I was racing, I had to talk to them for 20 minutes before they believed that I wasn't. They said that they had witnesses who said I was racing also, what a crock of ****.

I feel for you man, I hope you find the parts you need. If you were in Florida I would give you the parts.

I went to Mazda and order my front left and right fenders. If you add shipping to the VB fender, or any other seller of body parts, it is hella expensive. You can probably save $30-40 by going directly to Mazda.

That's terrible, Bizzaro. I PMed you. I got one you can have. There may be a small (quarter or half dollar sized) ding in it...easy to fix since you'll have to paint it anyway, but no rust.
We'll have to hook up.

Damn sons of a bitches. That is my worst nightmare to go outside at 7am in the morning to goto work and see my car all dinged up like that. Sorry to hear man, hope it doesn't cost ya too much. I got an estimate for damage similar to that and it was around $2k. Although I took it to one of the best shops in town, but we all know we gotta treat our cars like little kids, gotta spoil them. Otherwise they might just go blow an apex seal on us.

yeah...you can just imagine how i felt that entire day...

but as the day went on and after i posted what happened, everyone's concern actually made me feel better.

tell you what...i will NEVER park my car out on the street again! AND i'll be getting an alarm now with a motion sensor...any recommendations?

looks like i just might have the replacement parts needed...so all i'll need is to have them painted
