Well, what can I say. I know there's one Rx8 less in Australia, Thanks to a truck driver.
I'll let you guy's picture it.
Your driving down the main street doing 80km/h (55mph) and you come to an intersection with light's and it's green for you, so you drive through, but the truck driver thinks he doesn't need to stop. So he T bones me at speed, (police said he was speeding, doing 60mph) and all I can remember is the car going sideways and hitting a light post.
Next thing I remember is being in hospital with a sore body.
Broken parts: Left Coller bone, 5 broken ribes on the right side, Fractured pelves, Broken right wrist and a very bad headache.
2 weeks later, I'm out of the hospital and 3 days after, had a look at what's supposed to be a Rx8 and what panels weren't damaged the rescue services ripped to get me out of the car.
The only thing is, WHERE THE HELL WAS THE AIR BAGS.
Jen's was in shock for 2 days, and now she's fine. The police notified me that the driver had a blood alcohol of 3 times the limit. BASTARD.
So, What's been happening lately with you guy's?

I'd like to kick the drivers ****, but I just don't have the energy.
