I brok-ed my car

Pictures..

I forgot my camera when I went to the auto body shop this morning... the wheels are pretty scratched up, but from what the body shop guy said, not bent. So he's sending them to a company that fixes wheels to see if they can fix these, and if not, I'm just getting two new ones. In all honesty, you couldn't really tell I was in an accident minus the scratches on the wheels and the really toe'd in front wheel... the body damage was all under the bumpers and side skirts.

I have to admit though, for the wheels not to be bent, but me needing new suspension, I've got to give it up to Racing Hart... those are hella strong wheels.... (dance)

I may not have an option in the matter considering that I'm claiming it under insurance... but you have first dibs if I do.

It actually happened in Westmont... Where in the stream did you grow up? I take it you went to GBN... (ugh)


Yep i went GBN, I lived in some apt. right off Gary ave. right before the police station.

Yes, but you forget about comparing price...

I bought my MSP brand new for $17,500. My friend just bought his 3 for 20,500... I saved 3 grand on a car that is quicker off of the line and better in the corners. Sure, he's got options on the car, but in all honesty, they are options that I can live without. You're right about the MS3 kicking some major ass, but it's also going to cost an arm and a leg to do so... I'd say that an MS3 would cost about 10 grand more (27,500) brand new than what my car did. You give me 10 grand to upgrade my car, and I'll give you a car that would put a MS3 to shame.


your friend got ******* ***** without lube, y0

Not really... He got a pretty good deal considering he got one of the first 2006 3's in America... it's got every option minus nav. It's sweet, but I like my car better... (first)

having extensively driven every modern mazda made in the last 5 years, i can assure you wholeheartedly that the mazdaspeed protege outclasses a mazda3 in every performance category, handling included. personally, a mazda6s or a protege5 outhandles the 3 in my experience.

i guess the article in sport compact car that stated the mazdaspeed protege was "the best handling front wheel drive car ever made" has been forgotten :) before that of course they said was the integra type-r.

the 3 is a nice car, but its virtually unanimous among the writers for car mags and the people i work with at mazda that the protege was a much more raw, more performance oriented product whereas the 3 is mazda's attempt to build a socially "step above" small car.

oh, its an '06. that clears things up a little better
 
Update!

Well, I should have the car back Monday afternoon... they fixed my wheels, so sorry Dex, doesn't look like I'll be able to give them to you. They also replaced most of the suspension parts on the front driver's side. Funny thing is that I got a call from the guy on Friday and he's like "well, i took the car out and it sounds like the back of your car is going to fall off..."

"Really?"
"Yeah, turns out the bushings on your sway bar are cracked"
(I realizes he's refering to the infamous clunk) "Wow, really? it wasn't like that before..." (boom07)
"Yeah, I'm going to fix them, but I don't think your accident is what caused them to crack..."
"Thanks!!" (first)

So, needless to say, the car will come back in better condition than it was before the accident. Yeah!! (thumb)
