Has anyone ever had bad luck. i mean when someone smacks into your rx7. My luck sucked today. Some woman thought she could run the red left turn light, and ended up getting broadsided by me on the opposite side of traffic. Needless to say, i'm not happy. Looks like my 7 got punched in the face. MOre pictures later. If anyone eles feels like venting, here's a thread for ya.

happened augest 1st 2003... one of my reasons grannies need to be tested more often. she said she didn't see me at the RED light. and all my break lights still worked after she hit me.

As you can see my baby took it right in the face. Lucky me i was just starting to accelerate when the woman came out of no-where. The damage could have been alot worse. The nose of the car looks as though its been bent to the right by about 2 or so inches, which makes me believe a bit of the frame was damaged. But the damage didn't touch the radiator or anything past it, so the engine is ok. Drivability wise, the tires have full motion left or right. The car can still drive straight. Air bags did not deploy, the impact wasn't that bad.

Overall i think the car is fixable. But being that rx7's are a more rare car to find, Geico might just say total it. BUt then agaian, its more cosmetic damage then anything eles. I don't know. Either way, Geico considers this as "no fault" on my case. I am going to drill her insurance company though. This woman will pay for the damages. hey, thats life.
