Hey everybody, how goes it.

I have a sad announcement.

I got t-boned last night coming home from work.

Well made car. The side held perfectly. It crushed it a bit - a bent dashboard, a stuck (no work) turn signal, the headlights were on, and the door sensor wasn't touching the door.

Walked away without a scratch on me. Had to crawl out the passenger side and have a good laugh about it. No cut, bruises, or abrasions. Happy. Another reason I am glad I had the RX-7.

Will have pictures in the afternoon, I hope.

Take it easy, and have a good one.

Sorry for your loss - good to hear you weren't injured.

For not having any airbags, these cars have good crash ratings. Most people that crash/get t-boned/roll over usually walk away from the accident with either some scrapes or clean.

Sorry to hear about the 7, hopefully the insurance will give you enough to start a build!

Yes.



Now you have a great opportunity to start over with another 7... Any plans yet?

Sorry bout your car, but you have the right attitude...it's just stuff and more importantly you are healthy.

And everyone is right about 2nd Gen and accidents. My vert got totaled by another driver and I was unharmed. I didn't accept the loss nearly as carefree as the OP.

I'm glad to hear that your okay but, very sad to hear that the rx7 probably wont be resurrected.

Glad to hear you walked away without any cuts or bruises. Were the cops dicks because you have a import? I only say that because my side of town cops are ahole to a import that has a exhaust when they pull you over or get into a wreck.

Jeez, why do 7's get hit so often? I see one of these posts seems monthly and it freaks me out. I guess its partly the low and small profile of the car but still I don't get it.

P.S. Sorry for the loss, seems like there might be a small chance to get it reconditioned so I wish you good luck.

Don't know if you've noticed but FC's aren't exactly small. Their the biggest of any of the rx series. Their just low from the factory and modification doesn't help. I cant even count how many times I've almost gotten run off the road from dumb drivers in SUV's or a semi changing lanes on the highway. Thank god they can handle well.

You can drop a 350 in and still have room to stand in the engine bay.


But why people are able to walk away from crashes still amazes me. Great designed car, the crush points work amazingly. Given the damage is great, but I'd rather have the car crinkle than me.
