Unhappy What happened on friday...may it R.I.P

Okay well thanks to another driver my rex is no longer living. Not sure what I'll do now. I was lucky to walk away, good thing I was wearing my seatbelt. Guess I'm looking for a new car, glad it wasn't my fault.

Pics of before and after:

Think I'm going to take a break from the rotary's..I love em but they can be a headache...think I'm going to buy a supra instead [Mark III (1986.5-92)]

*Grip..I tried even some nu finish scratch remover and wax..don't think the front's going to have that "showcar shine" ever again . lol*

Try an electric buffer. Trust me, it'll work.

But really, sorry to hear about the car . Willing to tell us what happened?

Yah it does suck...being in an accident is a freakin inconvienence lol. As far as 7mgte's being a pain in the a**...sadly so are rotary's....so that part doesn't bother me. Oh even if it was an N/A (still fun), I wa the only one in my city with an S5 and one of only two fc rx7's in the city. One other guy had a clean s4. Where I live they're pretty rare. (Sk, Canada). Haven't decided if I'm going to buy it back from insurance but we'll see. It's pretty mangled..the body's kinked.

As far as what happened I was on my supper break at work and I was headed home. Some old lady had a stop sign and tried to make a difficult left hand turn across 2 lanes. I know that where she was sitting it's a little difficult to see oncoming traffic but not impossible. Needless to say she tried to gun it and thats where I came in. (Not speeding) I couldn't stop in time and I think I locked up the brakes..not sure of some stuff. I hit her head on on her driver's side. It felt really weird and just so you know she's okay actually just minor injuries. I'm really surprised I and she survived.

Note: I do have some extra ignition coils now sitting in my room...full set if anyone's interested.
