#327 is gone

[GAspeedProtege]

It's totalled, I'll have pictures in a few days. Oncoming car made a left in front of me, I hit her, spun her into the middle lane, hit a curb, went airborne into a tree, then rolled the car. As far as damage goes, A pillar went into the roof, all four tires blew, all four rims damaged beyone repair. Motor and transmission shoved through firewall, both air bags deployed, front windshield cracked. Entire left side is dented and caved in. Front end is destroyed.

[dosle]

[Wiggles422]

That's how I totalled my honda. (Except I didn't go airborn or anything) But, then I got the MSP so keep your chin up. Maybe something good will come out it. Everything happens for a reason. Glad you're ok. Best of luck to you!

[GAspeedProtege]

I'm doing ok, most the skin is scraped off my right knee, its pretty sore. I have a long bruise across my shoulder and neck from the seatbelt. Thats about it. Dunno what car I'll be getting next, I want another MSP.

[CChris704]

glad to hear you're ok also. MSP seems to protect amazinly in crashes looking at the severity of all these. good luck in your healing and new car search

I'm glad that you are doing ok. Seems like a pretty violent accident to only get a scraped up knee and bruise.

With pain and suffering you might be able to settle for enough to get an Evo or STi if you would want one.

[TiGrayMsp716]

MSPs are the safest car in the world....(during an accident)

Glad to hear you're ok. Wish you luck on finding a new car

[DiscreetSpeed]

damn man sorry to hear...hope it turns out great for you...

[NoVaMSP]

msp grave yard is filling up quik . glad your ok i say go for another speed can get them cheap (for now) at this rate i bet theres less then 2500 (again) in less then 5 years

[CommieSpeed]

Good Luck finding one new...I do searches at my dealership every now and then and I think there are like 3 left in the US!!! hahaha Go for a used one...buy Asian6er's!!!

[protegeV]

there are no new ones anymore..

[protegeV]

-just get an SRT-4

[^tyrant^]

[FSDET]

glad your ok ... get another msp PLZ ... or an EVO if u can afford it ... NO srt4s

[Gaboost]

Glad to hear your alright Chris, that looks really bad. What turned in front of you, a suv or something? I'm glad it's someone else's fault for your sake. Finding another MSP may be a challege though. I say get something different, something that can take boost on stock engine(srt-4 ,wrx, evo/sti if you can afford one.

[1338]

damn, where was this taken place at? good to see you ok mann.

[Emode]

wow your tires look really bald

but i guess thats a non issue now



good luck..

[Rush]

.. Holy shit.

I know I'm not the first to say it, but as much as you loved your MSP, it IS just a car. It's amazing that you made it through that with only a skinned knee and a bruised shoulder. Glad to hear you're alright!!

But good luck with the next car, though! And please, try to resist getting an SRT-4.

[azian6er]

damn talk about a short shifter! look at the interior pic.

i am very sorry about your car man. cheer up, at least you are still here!

-b

[LAZERBLU2003.5]

Glad that ur ok man, but hell a little bondo, some tie wire and a roll of duck tape will fix it all up!!!!!

[LAZERBLU2003.5]

oh..... and a couple of cans of fix-a-flat!!

[Saban]

WOW (boom01) Dude Im glad you walked away from that, good luck finding another MSP.

[GAspeedProtege]

A camry pulled out in front of me, it happened on Post Oak Tritt off Sandy Plains. I dunno what I'll get, just depends, I want an MP, but the srt-4 is looking pretty nice.

[FrozenMazda]

Oh hell.... just a little rubber cement and some duct tape. She'll be as good as new.

Glad to hear you're ok. While it's sad to hear of all these lovely cars getting totalled, it's definitely refreshing to hear the accounts from drivers and passengers who have walked away from the ordeal with some cuts and bruises.

Good luck in the new car search.

[Crock]

It's painful to look at those pictures. Good luck with the new car search.

[jflo]

oh man ! you are very lucky...glad you're okay !

[gun]

holy hell dude. dude's right though, it's only a car. you can always get another car, but we can't get another you. :) just a thought. glad to hear you made it out of the accident alright.

[sickspeed94]

is it just me, or did anyone elses dealershit tell them our motors were on a slide and would fall out of the bottom of the car before coming into the firewall? if that's true and it wasn't just my scrappy stealershit then you should sue

[GAspeedProtege]

Haven't heard anything so I couldn't tell ya. Put my car on jack stands today after dragging it behind the shop. Floor around the driver is crushed in, motor is sideways in the bay, turbo crushed into the block. Transmission is broken, so is the oil pan. Front shocks and struts are blown, sway bar is intact, hehe. On the rear of the car both tires were pushed into the rear of the fender walls, trailing arms bent, bushings holding the rear sway are broken. Pretty sure it's going to be totalled. I'm going to try for another MSP, but I'm looking at the Getta GLI's. Only 5000 made, custom 18" wheels, recaro seats, six speed, lsd, lowered with eibach suspension pieces. Looks pretty nice. If not that I'll be after an srt-4 or an STI.

[speedhawaii]

cant go wrong with a sti or evo. although the gli sounds nice

[^tyrant^]

noclue says mitsu is going to go under soon so i dont know about getting a evo ide rather get the sti myself.

If they total it think i could get the o2 sensors?

[KyRaceFan]

Glad you made it out ok.... makes me feel better knowing that im well protected everyday when i drive amongst the morons on the road.
I hope you can sue and get money out of it, but it will probably take a year or more. Id suggest buying something cheap for now, and then trying to get settlement money later.. and whatever you do, DONT BUY A CAR WITH SETTLEMENT MONEY.
Invest it in low risk mutuals, or a 401k, and let the money grow and grow. Or use it to buy a house, pay for college, or something worthwhile.

I hear about it all the time someone gets a fat settlement then blows it all on another new car, and loses about 30% from depreciation. Use it wisely!

[GAspeedProtege]

Which 02 sensor would you want Tyrant? The 2nd O2 is fubar. I'm glad the chassis was so well designed, I always knew it was a safe car.

[jurgs01]

Glad ur okay. With all the totalled MSPs I don't think anyone has been hurt seriously (knock on wood).

[II-Savy]

Dude F the SRT and the crap VW....just MO. I've had a few beers so I can spout off a bit. (blah) You want quality stay away from the SRT and the VW. STI or MSP is the way to go. Maybe the 2 door sion with a supercharger or what about getting a beater for a while and go for a Supra when they come out. Also isn't the Skyline coming soon?

[Newf]

sorry to hear about this, glad to see your ok. I hate to see pics of our car beat up, I can almost feel it.

The engine will not drop down in the speeds during an accident. That is the mazda 6 with it's new design, peddles break away, floor drops, engine drops or something like that.

The guys are right about wasting settlement money on a new car. Bad idea. Take part of it, use it for a downpayment to get your monthly down maybe. But investing in a home or something is the way to do it in the long run.

Whatever you do, stick around if you can, and let us see the new wheels.....try to resist the srt4. Personally, I'd wait and see what the mazdaspeed 3 or 6 is like before buying anything now.

[GAspeedProtege]

I'm starting to lean away from the SRT, I dunno. As for leaving, I'll be around for awhile, hehe.

Is a US version of the Skyline coming out? I lived in Japan for 3 yrs and I almost brought one back with me. That might be the only car I would trade in my MSP for.

Yea I believe it is....it will be much different but whatever......I think 2007? Someone help here.

[JDM Sam]

Isurance is supposed to put you back in a car similar to the one you have. Mke them find a 2003 ES protege and pay a shop to convert it to MSP specs if not better and bill the insurance. They have to put you back in a car similar to the one you lost.

[never Ender]

man wtf, msp's are going down one by one. grrr!

[Mikey444]

I sont understand why some drivers risk shit happening on the road. I mean seriously why do some people have to take such risks on the road to get from A to B. I'm really sorry about your MSP, it's a beautiful car and I find that you had the nicest looking colour.

I don't think people risk things as much as they don't pay attention to what's going on. For example, this weekend, part of town lost electricity leaving a good amount of street lights out. Most people would stop and treat it like a four way stop, while others would just drive through not noticing what's going on. Those are the drivers that cause most accidents as they don't even notice a stop light not working and cars stopping in an orderly fashion.

[EVILSRT]

402 WHP on stock internals and 91 shit AZ pump. Yup, the SRT is deffinatly shit.:rolleyes:

[II-Savy]

It's not that bad, they just forgot to put a real interior in it. I've rented cars with better interiors.

[Rich24km]

The new Infinity G35 is badged as a SKYLINE in japan right now. It doesn't have twin turbo on the model coming to the US. But its the same exact car as the new R35 skylines. AWD etc...

[protegeV]

true...9 times out of 10, and probably what jurgs01 was referring to, when smeone says skyline they are referring to the GTRs. That's a GTS i believe.

[Autox MSP]

I've been in a srt4 and i own a msp. Honestly the the msp interior quality isn't a huge difference then the srt4. Both are decent for econoboxes. The guy in the srt4 that smoked you could probably care less about the interior much either. I"ve seen a srt4 on a autox with just springs/shox/sways that pretty much dominated the autox so cna't really say they suck in the corners either.

[jurgs01]

(2thumbs) And there were some really cool ones out at Tokyo Raceway. I saw one that had 20,000,000 yen in engine modifications (about 170K dollars).

[protegeV]

wtF? how is it even possible to spend that much on the engine unless you count in 100s of hours on the dyno and an ASSLOAD of labor...or you just get a pure titanium engine(boom07)

Its close enough to a mazda interior anyways....

ooh, we have fake cf, big whoop...

Tokyo money. There are a lot of rich businessmen their with nothing else to spend their money on. I know they were getting like 600 HP + out of some of those engines so I imagine there was money put into the drivetrain and suspension. These are not people like you and me, they actually almost do have bottomless pocketbooks.
