Good Day to all
After about 6 months of research and talking with a number of people, my wife and I decided that the Mazda5 is the best bang for the buck.
I pick up the car on Oct 2. 2010 M5, GT Lux, 5sp. Aluminum, with dealer tinted windows. This car came off the show room floor as there was not other 5sp available in the area.
4 days later... A 1996 Toyota Camry decided that it would be a good idea to perform a left turn across oncoming traffic. Unfortunately I was cursing in the right curb lane and there was not enough time or space to avoid the collision. I hit him in the passenger side rear fender, right on the rear wheel. Low speed collision as the air bag did not go off but enough of a hit to crack the bumper and cause frame damage. Fault has been assessed 100% towards the driver of the Toyota.
What a shame...
On a good note, I was the only one in the car and no other person was injured and I have to be thankful for that. The car can be fixed...bodily injuries, no so much.
