The Trifecta Is Complete

First Carazzie and then Juxt3r. Now me.

I left FedEx and was on my way to Track Dog. Driving south on Plano Road I was approaching a solid green light at Renner. In other words it had not nor was about to change any time soon.

As I approach the intersection a red Toyota Tacoma ran the red light going west.

I tried to avoid him but impacted my right front corner into his right rear wheel. I spun him and flipped him on the side. My car drove away from the scene to TDR after I borrowed some straps from Gary. Miatas are safe!

It looks like this one may total it. We'll see what the insurance company says.

Luckily there are several witnesses that saw I had the green and he blasted through the red. Witnesses report he was on his cell phone. ::Rant::

I'm ok but sore. Going to doc to be on the safe side.

Ouch..... glad you are OK!

Ouch. Glad to hear you're ok, William!

Wow, that sux. I was just on Renner Rd Saturday...

Your "teeny tiny Miata" sure put the smack down on mr big dog pickup! Looks like you came out ahead. I'd sue that jackhole until you had a new Carrera 4S out of the deal! Emotional pain & suffering and all that. :P

That'll buff right out. ;)

Actually, I would have expected to see the top in a bind or open. My mom hit about like that and pushed over a concrete barier trying to avoid an idiot who merged on the highway and cut her off, then imediately slammed on his brakes trying to get her to hit him.

Glad you are okay.

OUCH! I'm sorry to see that man :(

Wow. Looks like your car won that fight. Glad you are okay.

Wow good to hear your OK. That could have been real bad. Your car has had a rough year. :-\ maybe its just time to upgrade ;-)

Yikes, glad to hear you are ok. It does look like all the extra weight helped you in that confrontation. ;)

Glad you are OK and double-glad you flipped that jackass.

Ahh man, so sad, I always loved your car, those pictures hurt...:(


Anyway, glad you made it out ok, good luck with the insurance. For my wife's reference, how did the lack of an airbag change things? (Im about to pull the airbag in my car, wife's nervous about it)

Your car looks great for that kind of collision. My friend got hit last week on the rear corner of his big ass GMC by a Jeep Cheroke that never hit her brakes, and that thing was destroyed, he got spun but monor damage. It's nice to see the miata in such good shape after a collision like this.

Damn, that's some carnage. What speeds were involved? Glad you're okay, but it sounds like its time to subpoena some cellphone records to me. If they did that everytime there was an accident and awarded treble damages there would be alot less of this crap.

Man that SUCKS! :(

Glad you're okay... I'm sorry that damn Tacoma didn't burst into a fiery inferno... ::Rant::

That really sucks. Glad you are OK.

Is that where your car came to a stop?? It looks like it's westbound from the chalk on the pavement.

Bummer. Glad you are OK. So I guess you may not be buying that hood from me?

Man, sorry to see this happen. Glad to hear you're ok BR.

Glad that you're OK! Some of these butts should never been allowed to be on the road! Lets hope that there is not frame damage and a few new parts and is good as new. Do you have the receipts for all those aftermarket parts?

Glad you're ok William.

Chris

This is getting crazy. Glad your OK.

sorry to see this shit.

Like everyone has said, I'm glad you are OK and it sucks about your car.

Sorry about the car, hope you feel better soon. Let us know if you need anything.

Sorry to see that happen to someone else, I just had my accident in mine a couple of weeks ago, I know exactly how you feel.

Wow! Hope you are OK. Maybe I ought to get more insurance and quit carrying the gun in the car.

holy shit! I talked to gary about this today. From his descriptions, i didn't imagine it to look as bad as it does. I see torn metal. good thing, is that it looks like your wheel/tire is fine and hopefully the suspension is, as well.

How did you end up westbound and his truck at the northwest corner, when he hit you on the right side? Did he drive over the left side and crush the right side or something?

Wow, glad you are okay.

I hate asshats on cell phones while driving. They are not paying attention to anythign. They should start charging those morons with assault with a deadly weapon when they cause an accident and involuntary manslaughter if they cause a fatality.

Here ya go. Now you know what your life is worth. A Houston jury has agreed on the punishment for a woman convicted of causing a deadly accident after getting off her cell phone.
On Monday, Jeri Montgomery was sentenced to 30 days in jail, 10 years probation, given a $10,000 fine, and she was also ordered to make a $50 donation to Crime Stoppers.

Glad you are ok William, remember cars can be fixed. FYI there is an LO MSM at town north

Just a quick response. I actually ended up in the middle of the intersection facing the traffic light pole behind the fire truck. Before the fire truck got there a police officer did a visual on my car and asked me to try and pull it onto Renner behind the truck to clear the intersection.

Sucks to see this William, you've put a lot of work into that car. I can only see one picture at work, hope you're back in another one soon or fix that one.

Glad to hear your alright. The miata's are safe and yours even more so because the bling helped ya;). Good luck with everything.

Ah geez. Hope you get a decent settlement from his insurance company.

Sorry to see that William......riding a bike forever has made me a very defensive driver, I always expect someone to change langes, run a light or do some other moronic thing.
Let me know if you have any questions once you start fighting the insurance co..

Oh man that is horrible. That car was so sweet... I remember seeing it upclose at TDR. Glad you are alright though.

The good news:

His insurance is accepting full responsibility.

The bad news:

The car is a total loss.

The good news:

I'm buying it back with a clean title.

The bad news:

I wish the settlement was more.

The good news:

According to Rogue it is repairable and Titus has many of the parts needed from his parts car.

The bad news:

I will need another car once I settle with the insurance company as I will lose the rental.

The good news:

I'm looking for a CHEAP Miata.

The bad news:

None. I'm gonna have another Miata!

The good news:

I'm alive with all my appendages still intact.

The bad news:

My neck and back are killing me.

Make sure you get a medical checkup on his insurance's bill. ;)

maan1986's sure does look nice and solid. Hope the back and neck feel better soon. Guess this is what had to happen for Trina to get 'her' miata.
