Awsome! That makes one less 3rd gen out there, My car will keep going up in value...

But really, That must be really terrible for you. When I have the scarrie nightmares it usually involves someone stealing or crashing my car. So I can imagine how it feels to know it's for real. Those frame guys are super they should be able to pull that pass side out. Just hope you were covered...

That also makes it harder for you to get replacement parts! Seeing a RX-7 getting damaged is never a good thing!

I had a nightmare last night about someone hiting my car , completly woke me up.

I'm sorry about your car, that sucks. I hit a wall before but not that bad and I know your neck and back has to hurt. Anything serious happen to you?

Awesome "NOT"

Dom, I was being sarcastic. It always hurts to see a 3rd gen get crunched. A while back someone posted a pic of a CYM that hit the side of the costal highway and flipped over. That one was most disturbing.

But since you mentioned it, it would add to the # of used parts for my car.

it really just looks like alot of body work. Like a new bumper front side panels and a hood. Unless u bent the frame, but from the pic it just looks like some body work. cause it seems to look as if u didnt hit it hard enough to take out the engine. but anyway i another fairy died from the loss of another fd! everyone start clapping! hahahahaha

How fast were you going? Did your sunroof pop up from the collision or was it like that before you hit?

Damn, it looks to me like that would have some frame damage.
