GENERAL CRASH THREAD

Could have been worse, at least the car was still driveable

>DAMAGE REPORT
speirs?

also mismatched color fender when?

Negro

Lot of miatas getting rekt lately...

fuck man that sucks. After I made the left turn I realized you wouldn't know where to go so I pulled a u-turn at the first spot I could to go back for you but you must've already passed the intersection. Wish I caught you in time

Posted in the other thread, but might as well.

>Coming off the freeway into the city at about 10:30 at night
>Long straight to hit any lights
>No one really out at that time, one or two cars
>They're going like 20 mph
>Get all the way in the left lane
>Need to make a right turn in 3 lights, but figure with how slow the other 2 cars were going, I'd make it easy
>Nope, for some reason, they're keeping up with me after the first light
>Instead of slowing down like a smart person, I decide to floor it
>Accelerating decently ahead, about to hit my light
>Out of the corner of my eye, see SUV in the far right lane starting to pick up speed too
>Note, these guys went from 20 in a 30 zone, to about 40-50 to keep up with me for some damn reason

>Yank right, knowing I can clear him with plenty of space
>Clear him just fine
>But what's this? OVERSTEER OH YAY
>Take a corner at 55 mph
>BRAKE BRAKE FUCKING SHIT
>Manage to slow it down to about 15, collide with pole
It could have been so much worse, and it was a hell of a lesson for me to stop being a fuckwit.

>Bumper and light housing is kill
>Still perfectly driveable (Except night because no replacement light housing yet)
>No more popups until I get bumper fixed
>Pretty sure the subframe is bent too, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to make that call
>Corner of hood is also bent

>miata driver
>can't drive
it checks out
I swear there is one miata faggot showing off how bad of a driver he is on every crash thread

And prices skyrocketing due to the increased scarcity.

>gate comes down on top of car
>no damage to car or gate
>critical damage to pride
>security guard laughs his ass off
>tells me it happens all the time and that we're cool
I'm still ashamed though. I used to pride myself on NOT making stupid snap decisions....

>coming home from buddy's house last night
>4 counties over and it's already midnight, trying to get home before the street races start so I can watch
>come around corner, see truck waiting to pull out
>figure he's not going to do it since I'm kind of flying down the street with my brights on
>he does it
>turns tight so he stays in my lane
>less than 3 feet away from his rear bumper, downshift, whip car to left
>loses traction temporarily because raining recently
>FWD so correction is easy enough
>truckbro lays on horn and starts to ride my ass
>wellfuckyoutothen.png
>wait until he tries to pass me
>whip steering wheel to left, kick rear out again
>truckbro tries to dodge, ends up going up onto curb
>very loud BOOM as his oversized tyre pops
>have already corrected myself, fly home

I see red when people fuck with my car.

Pick one

If you crash or damage a car during a test drive, who is liable?

You.

Oh. I did some major damage to an 18" rim on a Lancer with upgraded package on test drive (by accident) and didn't hear anything from the manager, just got a death stare as I was pulling out.

Is the miata officially the new 240sx?

1g will fix that?
Also, just for fun, retell the story, but make stuff up to make it more exciting...maybe a rhino on the loose and you blocked an intended baby carriage... Make something up miata bro.
Honestly,i feel for your lose and appreciate your honesty. Now make up a better story, Fuck face.

Yes. I want to say that miatas are the last bastion of cheap, affordable, fun RWD cars. However, luckily they still carry the stigma of being gay little fag cars so it doesn't entirely attract the hoonigans.

everything went better than expected. plus it turns out morphine is fucking incredible and i totally get why heroin addicts even start.

Hahaha.

Yah I'm gonna do All the work myself, upgrading to a better bumper, and alright I'll do the story. Give me the night to get into my writers mood tho.

But yeah miatabro let me know if you ever want to do a san diego mini meet or some shit once you you get all the repairs done and I think we are both in SD

I'm in SD

Your anonymous tho. So..

fuck I forgot. im the rx7 from the meet

How will I reach you my Colombian friend?

i have no idea. maybe make a thread when your miata is fixed. you can just retell the story and post before and after pics then we can set up a minimeet or something

Sounds good.

Gods speed bro.

Be active :D

I'm confused, are you the asian guy in this story?

No, the Asian guy was this one.

>pull up to intersection
>wait for van to go by to make left turn
>van runs into me instead

thanks obama?

Ah. Filename threw me off.

Subaru + Mazda, a match made in the heavens

>29 years old
>drive like a fucking maniac
>never crashed, not even a fenderbender
Good karma I guess.

That just means that you're going to get in one big crash and die.

not a bad accident, but dumb bitch had hit me at a stoplight where we were both stopped for a while, then she up and decides to hit me in the back once the light turned green.
Damage: the bumper is sorta loose, and there's some indents from her license plate screws
So I have a factory body kit (factory rice, whatever) and a limited run color, I've kept the car as pristine as possible and wanna fix it
Insurance told me to find a place and give em a price, a lot of freedom but I dont want to get a recommendation from them because I dont want them to cheap out
Yall think the dealer can do the car right (biggest dealer I can think of in socal, they have their own body shop)?
General advice/course of action appreciated, I dont know how many of you guys feel the same but I love this car like a beloved dog and everything that happens to it is like it happened to my own flesh

what the hell is video bro?

The guy in the Mazdaspeed 3 with the GoPro.

Not a bad crash, but I'll divulge.
>be driving during rain
>shitty old camry with bald tires
>freeway onramp spotted
>whynot.jpg
>come into the onramp at 45
>steering wheel clocked right, car just goes straight

>jump the curb, slide in mud onto freeway
>come to stop facing opposing traffic
>many poos have shot out of my anii
>luckily it was 3AM and no cars around
>drive of shame all the way home
Turned out the only "damage" was a fender liner partly detached from collecting mud. Never fuck around on balding tires, gents.

at least I got it on video: youtube.com/watch?v=7rXdAI3Xh9c

>wrecking a miata at an Veeky Forumstist meet
How typical.

Its your shit ass toyo proxes 4 you have.

I can tell they are worn also. After about 1/2 the tread is gone that tire goes to absolute shit. A sprinkle of rain will make you hydroplane.

Also, lol 3ply sidewalls.

>used to have proxes4, went to yokohama and was amazed at how much less sidewall flex there was.

HOW YOU KNOW

I honestly am thinking the same thing.

Any idea what to run now?

-NEVER drive in rain
-need GRIP AS FUCK

Well, do you care how long they last? If you want to stick with Toyos, I ran some R888s and they lasted a little over 5 seasons. I never drove them in the wintertime because the silica compounds can break down in freezing temps.

Right now I have Yokohama S drives. They are tons better than the Proxie4s. It is tough finding tires that are 205/40-17 though.

desu that doesnt seem so bad
>didnt break any bones
>minor damage to motorcycle

In terms of motorcycle crashes, that is a fender bender.

I literally only put 1000 on it a season, it's a strictly canyon / funtime run car
