The end of a dream...

Postby AuroraAxela » Wed Jul 31, 2013 9:14

I had a dream to build a Mazdaspeed 3 sedan from the car I love so dearly.

Saturday night, the dream I had, everything that I had done, and everything I still wanted to do to her, was suddenly shattered. In one brief moment, my heart broke, knowing what the result was, even before I got out of the car....

No serious injuries to any of the drivers or passengers, thankfully. 4 cars totaled because one person wasn't paying attention.

Glad to hear nobody was hurt. Was the at fault driver using their phone or just clueless? Only curious.
What's next on the horizon for you? Any ideas yet?

Daaaaaaaayum son! So sorry! :(
Glad everyone is ok,

Did the 1 car run a light and hit everybody?

I foresee an MS3 in your immediate future,

We were all stopped, and I saw this jeep coming. I tried to move and go left, but she tagged my left rear and slammed me sideways into a crown vic in front of me. And then the crown vic hit a neon in front of him. No idea what the jeep driver was doing.

That really sucks man. Bad drivers piss me off when they do dumb stuff that doesn't result in accidents. When this kind of stuff happens people could be seriously hurt because of their horrible driving. Luckily that didn't happen but it would take quite an impact to do this damage.

Hope whatever you get next will make you happy. It's really hard to get over losing a car you still loved.

Damn Chris! That is some nasty looking aftermath. More than anything, I am happy to see you posting that nobody was injured too badly. Best wishes for whatever your next vehicular endeavor might be!

That sucks! I'm thankful nobody was injured. It certainly is heartbreaking to lose a vehicle you've invested so much effort and money.

Hopefully you can recover most of your mods before it goes to the junkyard.

this is sad, but I'm glad you are ok. Wouldn't surprise me if it was texting. I see hundreds of people do it per week when I'm on my bike. Like others said, maybe a good time for a MS3.

Sorry bout your car AA. I do know you likely don't have sn ms3 in your future since you aren't into hatchbacks. A wrx sedan would be a cool template to work from, or possibly recover your mods into a new mz3 sedan!
