Interior still looks great



The roof that saved me



Lookit those A pillars - pretty tough!



The worst of it

 

latest estimate is $17,000 to repair

 

Man manntis, im ****** sorry to see that, its a shame, glad your alright tho man. when i get some more money to spend im gonna contribute by purchasing some goodies off yer site.

 

sory about the profanity.

 

no worries, I'm ****** sorry to see it too

 

Ouch....but $17,000 worth? hmmmmmmmm

 

Canadian $$$, remember - replacing a roof and straightening a front end isn't cheap, nor is replacing the RB exhaust, rain soaked interior, etc.

 

Oh my god, that make me sick to my stomach. And i'm serious too, i just can't believe it, even tho i know it happened kind of thing (if that makes any sense).

Damn, i knew i shouldnt have looked at the pics... but i just HAD to see...

 

Even with your $19,000 appraisal, I can't imagine any Insurance company that wouldn't try to total the vehicle....now the real fun begins....

 

you need to find a clean shell, and rebuild

mike

 

****, that's ******* awful.

Just tears my heart out to see her like that.

 

wow dude that really sucks, but are you seriously gonna rebuild it? I understand you may have an attachment to your car as I do with mine, but it would be much easier to find another and start over. Just my $.02, again sorry to see that.

 

Thanks for posting pictures..........This shows all that your rx7 did what it was suppose to do.........save your life.......You are alive and typing.........I hope your injuries
are minor........

Pamela will live on..............you just have to transplant her parts over to your next donor 7.......When your transplant is complete.......say a few words and start her up...........

Remember.......If your car was named after Pamela Anderson.........She went through a couple of transformations.........implants.....Very Nice...........and then a reduction.........still a 10.............your wheels will
live on............

Keep the faith.........

 

The problem with this train of thought is that the next rex would NOT be Pamela....his GSL-SE carcass has history that cannot be replicated....it's what separates $15,000 '50s pink Cadillacs from an official Elvis-owned $150,000 pink Cadillac...I can see the point in trying to actually restore Pamela because of the movie star connection, but I think he's going to have a very hard time selling that line of logic to a black-hearted insurance company only interested in the bottom line...

 

Glad to hear your allright! although the pics are sad, it is a testament to the strength of the first Gen!

I think a new name is required for the next one! "The Phoenix!"

 

Wasted !! pure and simple, **** man, how fast were you going ?? thats SOME damage on the side. that car
even repaired would never be the same or even close
salvaged title and all. now you know, take your time
and find another SE as/or better then the last.

 

man thats bad man, im sorry it had to happenm to your baby.

if you want an 84 GS kinda rough, hundred dollars man
hit me up if interested.

Damn shame

 

It's a real shame to see one of the most beautiful 1st gens left on this planet end up like this...
Good to know that those 20 year old tin cans are so strong! It saved your live.

 

I personally think you should part the car out to everyone that wants parts from her, then everyone on the 7 club can own a piece of pam.

 

i love u manttis.. jk

 

Wow that is pritty crazy.

Just think you walked away from it...

People ask me all the time if I feel safe driving such a "small" car, my answer has allway been "yes, yes I do".

Well after hearing Manntis' story, the answer has just been upgraded to "Hell ya, they are a damn tough car".

That is a shame though.

 

jesus, talk about strength!

 

At what speed did you crash?

 

insurance companies suck...unles you have it appraised, they'll hand to $200 and tell you to screw yourself...worse that lawyers i'd say...

 

I've seen lesser wrecks that people don't walk away from... You're very fortunate!
