A smashed back end and a visit to the ER. :(
If only you had a bright blue Miata with a shiny roll hoop so people would have seen it...
BUMMER! Hope you're OK and you get a helpful insurance adjuster.
What kind of jeep was it?
That sucks. Probaly texting or shouting on a cell phone and not paying attention.
With the rate you guys are going through Miatas they will be collectors items soon.
Hope you are Ok
Forget the car, hope you are OK. Were you stopped or where the two of you moving?
Im okay. Left my mark on the lady's car in front of me...
Traffic was creeping - the driver of the Jeep said he wasn't paying attention and fell behind and speed up to catch up and just didn't slow down and plowed in to me. He said he didn't realize traffic had slowed again - it happened on the north bound service road just before Campbell - was getting on to 75 and people always pass the long line of on-ramp traffic and jump over at the last minute to cut in to get on 75 so traffic moves then stops suddenly...I was far back enough I barely tapped the lady's car in front of me despite being rammed into at an estimated 30 mph...

She was really nice...a big SUV slowed down right after the accident, rolled down his window and yelled at the three cars involved - telling us we needed to get our cars out of the way. She flipped him off and yelled something and told him somebody was hurt and to mind his own business. Then she knelt down and was holding my hand and said she saw my head fly back and hit the headrest and told me not to move...it must have startled her quite a bit.

Where do you drive, so I know not to go there. This is number 4, right?
As others have said, I hope you are OK. Sorry about you car.
Honestly, none of these incidents have been my fault - so Michael now thinks my car is jinxed :(Quote:

So, for scientific clarity, are you two gonna trade cars for a while to see if it is the car that is jinxed, rather than your route of travel or some personal belonging you carry with you? (Maybe not a good idea, although interesting from a research point of view.)Quote:

Glad to hear you are okay.
it's the blue car syndrome.
Andrew may be able to chime in on that..... my last car... a similar bright blue... was an accident magnet.
Glad you're okay, but sorry about the car.
As for the car being jinxed, my moms Miata was jinxed. '91 white B package.
It was hit 3 times in the parking lot with no one in the car. Ran into the right fender twice by people turning left from the right hand lane. Hit from behind once from a truck at a stop light. One time ended up being the hitter, when the accident up ahead had a police between the cars with the car behind the police car not having hazard lights on.
And lastly hitting a concrete barrier at 55 when a jerk purposely swerved into the lane and slammed on the brakes to have someone try to hit him.
Bummer about your car (again). Glad you weren't hurt.
Hope you're okay. Whiplash can be quite painful days after a wreck.
You guys are scaring me! My blue one was hit twice while my son had it....
Glad you are OK, sorry about the car tho.
I had the same thing happen to me in my white 510 a few years ago, and the gal who rear-ended me was the wife of a police officer!
Have you been hanging out with Adam Payrott? Only he has worse luck than you.
Hope you're feeling fine soon. Sorry about the car.
Did this happen on Nails' birthday?
Get well soon Cara. Sorry about the bad news but the good news is it looks completely repairable.
Wow, just wow. I've been in the same sort of squeeze play too and it definitely sucks. Go buy a lotto ticket; your average has to turn around!
