Wrecked my MX-3
Posted: October 9th, 2001, 1:34 pm
Alright, guys, as you can see by my subject, the unthinkable happened. I was driving along in the right lane, when somebody turned across my lane into a parking lot. He had to either be stopped, or barely moving. (WHY?!?!?) I hit them pretty much broadside (on his passenger side) and completely demolished my front end. The driver's side headlight shittered, the entire front bumper flew off and landed in the road 6 feet away from the car upside down. Engine stopped (didn't try to restart it). Hit him so hard, either the steering wheel or the seatbelt bruised my chest pretty good, I had to go to the hospital. Nothing broken, thank God. <P>My last wreck was very tame compared to this one, so I'm almost 100% sure the insurance company will total the car. I thought it might be a good excuse for a KL-ZE, but there's just no way I could afford it, even if I could. <P>I don't really know where to go now. I really want another MX-3, but they're hard to find. Also, both my parents aren't wanting me to get one. Mom said, "The first time I saw that car, I knew it was too small, people won't see it, and you could get hurt in a wreck." Well, what can I say to that? I tried, "But it's MY CAR." Didn't work. I don't see any way I'll be able to get a small car again, as much as I absolutely loved the MX-3. <P>I've always wanted a truck, but I don't think I'll ever have as much fun with a truck as the MX-3. I'm totally clueless as to where to start looking for a new car/truck. <P>For those of you looking for a new car and debating the MX-3, I still highly recommend it. It kept me safe!<P>Taylor <BR>EX - 92 GS Blaze Red <BR>...new paint job ruined, and the PRM got crushed
