Rough morning! My Mazdaspeed got wrecked!

[Todd@RUPES]

Started this morning on the right foot, awake and sending emails, finishing some product copy. Then, for some reason, I decided I wanted coffee. The gas station is 3 minutes from my house, maybe less. Dunkin Donuts coffee was calling my name.. Let's do this.

I hop in my car, drive down the street to the gas station, my mouth yearning for the taste of coffee. Light goes green, I accelerate across the intersection. Then bang. I am hit/t-boned/side swiped (all in one motion) by a Honda Civic (lowered of course).

The pictures don't really do a good job of showing how bad the damage it. Neither side door opens, the wheel is toed out at a severe angle, and the side is caved in.

Oh well! The show must go on!

Whoa! Sorry to hear man. But glad you are ok.

 

[Dr Oldz]

Ouch. Hope you are OK. Cars can be replaced people can't.

This..........

Todd are you OK?

When you say wrecked, --both doors don't open then you got hammered.

I really hope you are OK.

really sorry to hear that todd. it hurts a lot more when you have taken such good care of your ride as you did. take care of yourself too todd. sometimes injuries to the spine, etc., don't noticeably show up until a month or so later. i was rear ended at a light in a my fairly new pickup with less that 3000 miles. it was repaired, but i always knew the difference from the factory paint. hang in there guy !

That blows Todd... I'm happy your ok though. Take it easy today usually don't feel bad till next day after an impact... Again glad your ok

 

[CH.Detailing]

You have bad luck with red cars Todd, get a black one next and your luck will change!

Glad you're okay!

[Beemerboy]

Sorry Todd! The only thing that is important is that you and the other driver are OK, the rest can be fixed.

But I know it's a hassle no one wants to have

 

[Rocket]

Glad your ok Todd. Looks like you took a hard hit, I bet you'll feel it in the morning.

 

[Concours.John]

Not the way to start the day.

Listen to your body. If something doesnt feel right, get it looked at. I'm paying for not doing that as age accumulates and it's too late to fix it.

 

[TroyScherer]

WOW !!! That Bites !!!


But in the end everything will hopefully work out.

Sorry to hear Todd.

 

[Todd@RUPES]

Thanks for the kind words. In my life, everytime something bad happens something better comes along.

As noted I am 100% okay (my arm is a little black and blue but no biggie), my son wasn't in the car, and the young girl who hit me is fine as well. I walked home (its very close to my house), gotta line up a rental car, and keep moving forward.

Thanks again for the kind words.

 

[Old Pirate]

I'm going to start calling you " Crash ". Glad to hear your OK.

 

[CT3]

Hope your ok Todd. Sorry about the ride though.
