Glad to hear shes ok..

 

Poor girl

 

Well hopefully she'll have it replaced soon and can get back on the road to enjoyment.

 

its good to know that the car did its job, and preserved her life in sacrifice of itself. its good to know that she's ok

 

Wow, it is amazing that the 8 held up very well. Good job mazda, and get well Shari.

 

Hey everyone..... thank you so much for the well wishes. I'm bruised and really sore and my feelings are hurt over my car. Things DEFINITELY could've been worse though.



What happened...... the driver of a car in the oncoming lane decided to make a left turn across 2 lanes - cars were stopped on the inside lane. He said he couldn't see around them so he decided to go. When he turned I was right there; tried to avoid him, but hit him broadside.



My 8 definitely did it's job. The front is pushed back to the windshield and the dealership says that even the dash will have to be replaced IF it's not totaled. I will hopefully know more about that in the next couple of days. I'll keep you guys posted.



Again, thanks for all the well wishes AND for the peeps who'll be at the Quad State BBQ - I'm NOT missing it no matter what I might be driving!

 

glad to hear you are ok, i had a similar accident that totalled my old FD

 

Man, Vosko, that looks very similar to what happened to mine!

 

Ahhh, good to hear from you Shari. Good luck with the car straightened out though.

 

Ouch, doesn't look good. Hope she's 100% soon.
