That being said, it was a big hassle, lots of stuff happening, a lot of back and forth with insurance and everything but in the end I've made out on top. The car is mine, I walk away with no insurance payments, no car payments (paid off), my car and all the salvageable parts (almost all of them basically), and only $288 extra left over (after paying off the car loan with the money from the bank).

At least I have the car, right? Haven't decided what I'm doing next, but regardless if it's another RX-8 or something else, the parts and everything else must come off! THUS, a strip party at my house this Saturday! I'll be there pretty much all day, if you need my address let me know and I'll PM it to you. If you don't wanna help, feel free to stop by and say hi anyways. For those that want to help, I'm taking beer requests as beer will be on me. Getting it towed to my house tomorrow morning, so I'll probably start tomorrow night on some small stuff myself.

If anyone that is coming has stuff like a container to drop coolant and oil in, or extra tools and all, or jacks that I can borrow until I can buy my own (or when I finish stripping the car dry), or anything, that would be a huge help. :D

Ouchies...sorry to hear (and see) that.

...by the looks of it I'm guessing you went for a ride on a guardrail?
 
yikes marc! what did you do? i guess your ok? sorry in nc for the long weekend...
 
waltham eh? I might be down since that's pretty close, and I love tearing apart cars.

not sure if we're kayaking or not on Saturday, but PM me your address and I'll let you know as soon as I figure it out.
 
James had dibs on it forever ago. Though I'm not selling or giving up parts until after late November. Not sure if I want to get another RX-8 or something else..so I'm just putting everything aside. Anyways, thats the dealio. :D

What happened was it felt like something broke in the suspension..not sure but as I was driving, the car suddenly yanked left and went straight into the guard rail. Sucked, wasn't fun. :/

Marc, so sorry man. Like Marc, I am away this weekend in Canada. Can help out when I get back.
 
I'll be in NY as well... Ironic, right?

2nd dibs on AP lulz. Maybe I can haz swaybarz too?
 
Sorry bro. I have to deal with exotic cars and models all weekend. Bummer huh?

Seriously though, like I said I'm happy to hear you are ok.
 
Thanks man, much appreciated. If anyone wants to come by another day, please feel free to. Like I said..the car isn't going anywhere. lol
 
Marc, PM me your info. I might not make it at 8am, but I'll call/text you and let you know my ETA. I have the whole weekend free and Monday off.
 
Since many people were busy this past Saturday, I'm open to suggestions on dates that would work for everyone. Granted me, Mike, Dave and Kevin got a TON done..there is still plenty left to do as well. So if anyone is interested, feel free to throw some dates out there and we can just get together and hang out a bit or something. Let me know. :D
 
Can't do this weekend... unless it's a later afternoon garage party. Work until 4 Saturday and work till 3 on Sunday.
