death of my miata

well saturday morning on my way home from a long night of work i seemingly dozed off while driving home.

slid the miata down a concret wall then off into a ditch ... no more miata :(
and i only had liability on it so no ins money ..... thankfully i was not injured at all other than a little seatbelt burn damn airbag didnt deploy either lol

ended up trying a bunch of dealerships and the only place that could get me financed on another new car was a honda dealership. so now i have an 07 si sedan :D

Sorry to hear about the miata... But I am glad to see the Si. I have friend that had an Si and this is one of the choices for my next car. The four door.

I still have the '90 parts car. It's basically a lowered jeep now, but it runs! Starts on the first crank every time! :D

Really nice car! I took one for a short test drive and really liked how it rode.

I really like the Si sedan, test drove it twice and really thought about trading in my RX-8 for it. Sorry about the lost, but not a bad replacement.

better gas mileage that that rx8 for sure but not as good as my miata :(

Cool, when selecting my new car, I narrowed it down to either the NC-series Miata or a Civic Si Coupe. In some ways, I liked the Si better (auxilliary back seat would have been nice), but in the end Honda was demanding a premium to buy the Si, and Mazda was throwing discounts at me. So that made the choice for me. Plus Honda wouldn't let me touch their only new Si for a test drive, Mazda let me test drive and I really liked it.

ouch

Now note, I was doing this December 06 when the Si's had JUST come out, and each dealer had like only one, so that was abit different.

Odd that they wouldn't finance you, they El Dorado liked us. Who knows.

Personally that's what I'd get because it's more family friendly.

ccage just recently scored the 4 door Si... a really nice vehicle. Much nicer than the 2 door... and obviously easier to get in to.

Yea but not everyone is in need of the family friendly aspect. Does synaptik require a family friendly car??

He's doing okay... I seem him every week or so.

As to the Si, the four door just looks better than the two door. My ::2Cents::.

i got the 4 door because i needed something with a little more room. Plus they didnt have a coupe used for the price i was willing to pay .... got a good deal on the sedan, plus the weight ratio is closer to 50/50 than it is in a coupe and it is only a few inches longer :D

sedan ftw

Heh, yeah that is what I ran into when looking for a new car, they were charging up the nose for the coupe. Of course the Sedan wasn't out yet at the time, but seems that the sedan's presence didn't change that.

I did offer to my wife to get a 2006 Subaru WRX TR instead of a Miata as a "here is a car I would be happy enough with and a 4 door" offering. Fortunately though she told me she wanted me to get the car I really wanted (I prefer 2 doors personally). Boy do I love her :)
