That small blurry pic was taken with my cell phone right before the cool *** EMT closed the ambulance door. They say the rollcage and bucket seat saved me from seruious injury and maybe DEATH. I was making a right turn ifrom a side street into the north bound lanes of a 4 lane road at 4:20am this morning when I got T-boned by an american who ran a signal that had been red for atleast 15 seconds. The south bound lanes turn red 15 seconds before the north bound lanes so cars can turn down the road from where I was entering. She hit me square on the drivers door. The rollcage and door are punched in about 8", the rollcage and high side bucket saved my hip from serious injury, the drivers door can not be opened, the rear hatch does not shut, the passneger door is difficult the open/close, on the driver's side of the car there is a 2" gap between the hood and fender, my 12 disc changer is dead, my HKS CAMP is dead, driver's side MB Quart's are DEAD, Greddy AF meter is dead, Momo steering wheel is BENT, ..... that is all I saw this morning but I will look at it again when the insurance mis-adjuster checks the car.

One of my RX-7 friends took crapload of pics at the scene so I'll post them after he gives me copies.

 

wow. glad you're not dead.

 

F@#K the car ...glad to see that a fellow HT member is fine. PS Eyyy rollcages are not only for looks.

 

**** man... Glad to hear your alright... Must have been some scary *** ****...

Goodluck

hope the engine is still good!

 

Everybody got worried when I started laughing about this situation! I have had some REALLY shitty luck lately so I hope this was the last of that string. After the my ears stopped ringing and I heard my leaky DP gasket I knew everything would be OK. I can build another Tegster but I can't build another life. I am very thankful that I am still intact and alive. Gotta keep that chin up and stay POSITIVE!!

 

Glad you are alright.

 

glad to see your alright, hope you don't lose out on some of your parts that got broken.

 

Car dead =
You not dead =

the car is replaceable, your're not. glad you are okay

 

thanks guys.... !!

The drive train is still good! My friends actually talked the cops and wrecker driver out of towing the car and drove it back to their shop where it is locked in secure place. I didn't want the car to go the wrecker lot since they do not care if people steal parts from the inside of your car. Their favorite comment is: "Insurance will pay for those parts!"

Life is good to me eventhough I have had a lot of bad luck lately. Everything is gonna work out!!

 

keep your chin up dee!! thankfully youre ok.

 

 

Damn man, glad you're ok!
