Count your blessings that your wife is okay.
A car, no matter how loved, how special, is only that... a memory of fun, and of pride.
But had you also lost your wife, that would have been more devastating than ever.
I can understand not wanting to part her out... so much time spent finding the impossible pieces.
But where you have loved this little MX3, maybe some other car will fill the hole. But give it time.
Here's to you good sir. My condolences on a lost love, but relief that your car was all you lost.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. Im glad she is ok as well. If not i wouldnt even be grieving over the car. I know at the end of the day its just a car.
The car actually has only been in california for 2 years. The carfax i got said it was originally bought in new jersey in 1993 and in 1999 by military records the car arrived in germany by boat and didnt leave germany till 2012. So its seen some harsh winters. The rust on the quarter panel is in that same spot on the other side as well. It just wasnt all the way through. So it wasnt to noticable. The accident made sure it was showin for sure. I had plans to start body work in the next few months and had money all saved up and started to buy tools and supplies I needed even had a spot to spray. Now i had to use that money to get me another car to get to work.

I got a 2005 VW jetta. I hate it lol. Now i just blend in with the rest of society. No more turning heads. Not sure if it was "WTF is that ugly ricer thing" or "wow cool car" but it was turning heads
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
But it would be a smart idea to get a car here. There have been mx3's out here in the junk yard that if you just pressure wash the under side everything would look like the day it came from the factory. But at work I have been under a few cars that are from the bay area that are insanely rusty but are only 6 or 7 years old if that much. So there is a line were they look perfect for years or they get really bad the closer you are to the ocean.

Really a loss for the community.
Hopefully you will decide to either sell the rare parts you've collected or sell to total to somebody. Scrap is such a shame.

Could you not get an other Mx-3 to swap your parts over? It looks like all the good stuff survived intact, including the CF hatch and the muffler?

Thanks for the update. Glad some of the parts were salvaged and found a good home. Sorry again for your loss. Good luck with your RX-7 project. Sounds like fun!
BTW, how hard are Mazdaspeed seats like that to find? They look great!
