crash on 66?

A couple of coworkers told me they saw a silver RX-7, wrecked on interstate 66 yesterday. It was between the beltway and Chantilly and they said it appeared to be hit in the rear end; possibly totalled. Anyone on here? Hopefully whoever it was is ok, and the damage isn't too bad. Sorry for your misfortune.

Holy crap, that car gave its life for you.

Glad to hear your ok, but that's amazing to be hit by a semi and walk away in a car that was that small.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. But as you know, no car is worth the loss of your life - being able to walk away is a really big deal. Good luck with your next car, sounds like you have a project in mind already.
