Well I'm the original owner on this msp. So sad to see it like this :( Did a lot of work to it. Well I gave this car to my wife about 3 yrs ago. Long story short the accident happened like 1 minute from our house it involved 3 cars & all 3 were totaled. Thank God she just needed some stitches on her lower left knee. The car did a great job of protecting her because most of the impact was on the drivers side.
 
thats too bad man. Glad to hear the wife is all right.
 
Glad your wife is okay. Sorry about the car. MSP's do quite well in serious accidents. I've seen more than a few of these threads of the years and almost always the driver walks away.
 
*pinch* don't be a vulture... :p

Sorry about the MSP...it gave it's life to protect your sweetheart.
 
Thank you all for your support! I'm not thinking of parting out just yet. I have to make sure my family is good before I do anything. I will let you know if I do. Thanks again. Here are the pics

WOW, i'm glad to hear your wife is alright, that is incredible after seeing those pictures. It completely cracked the trans wide open!
 
How fast was she going and what hit her? That is some serious damage with everything push backed and buckled. She's lucky for sure.
 
Wow, that's bad man. I'm glad she is ok. Just for the haters lol I'm not being a vulture. I don't need any parts. I was just asking.
 
There's that gear I needed! Wow, just wow. Glad she came out of it ok! I believe thats the 2nd or 3rd worse crash posted on here over the years.

Where is the tranny pic taken (POV)?

Do you have a pic of the leg area, did it collapse at all? Mazda could boast safety with this one (the cage stays in tact).

All I can say is holy hell.......the protgs sure can take a hell of a lick for one to make it out of that....glad the wifey is kosher
 
Like I said before thanks for all the great support. My family & I are still amazed that she walked away from this. When I went to see the car I myself was like WoW!!! There was nothing in front as you can see in the pics. I asked the tow truck driver what did he take off the car to tow it. His reply was nothing! He picked it up just like that. I found the hood on the side of the road when I was driving home. It's in my garage messed up but all there.

From what I was told she was going about 35-40 mph the person in front of her slammed on his brakes to avoid a object in the road. My wife then slammed on her brakes. Her car drifted into oncoming traffic hitting a car head on going about the same speed that she was going. The msp still ended up hitting the car in front as well. Totaling all 3 cars. The person that she hit head on had to be cut out of there car. We were told everyone was doing ok.

The pic was taken from the top of the tranny. Crazy thing is last saturday I replaced the complete shift linkage that cost about $300 from mazda because the mount under the shifter broke on it. I also changed the tranny fluid as well as the engine oil. It was driving so good the gears were like butter.

The leg area did collapse that's why she needed stitches on her lower knee.

I don't know how this broke either I also had a wide clip on mirror on top of that one. It was shattered like the windshield.

The steering wheel is bent, the complete steering column is broken and the key does not come out of the ignition.

The speaker box in the truck was upside down and my speaker was busted.

Now it makes sense why the MSP is so smashed and buckled. For sure the most important thing is that everyone involved is ok.
