ooh i'm impressed...
yah wrecking on the highway is not usually something ppl do to impress others, nor to show off your skills, it's just something that can happen to everyone, yeah the car had some issues that were "adressed" by the dealership the week before this happened. why do you get the illusion that this is done to impress anyone? OK picture this, somebody wants to move to the lane you're on and they don't see you... all i did was avoid contact with this other car... This is simply a STORY of what happened, a story as any other forum would have in here, aigh? BTW, the point here is that i'm looking for a bumper, so yah... have fun.Originally Posted by POS Racing
Jolberry, when i came to you i needed tires, i was looking everywhere i could and it so happened that i got one from the dealer so really i didn't need any extras. On the site you stated that i wasted your time, it was never my intention but likewise you made me wait on you too didn't you? I don't see this as my loss on your deal, it just didn't happen and thats the end of it. Unless you have anything else to add?

The point here is that your driving style played a major factor in your accident, as well as the mechanical state of your car. Had you not been going 90mph, the person who swerved into your lane might have had room, or you could of had time to react. They called you an idiot because of this, driving that fast on a crowded freeway is not smart. And it has been said many times before, these guys will poke fun a little bit if they want to. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Don't get too bent out of shape; you're not going to receive any empathy after commenting that you fishtailed at 90 mph and needed to replace the brake pads.
Sorry to hear you damaged your car, but you couldn't have been driving very intelligently if you wrecked in that location. My bank is right there and I don't see how you could get near the wall IMO. Were you on GB or the service road?

He didn't say "jump your jets" .....Now I wonder about your reading skills...
You need to realize that "YOU" made the first mention of being an IDIOT. The rest of us just repeated what you said...."i don't know, what do you guys think? (other than what an idiot i am... "
Good luck finding the bumper.......

hey
see this is more like it, acutally making sence intead of calling me an idiot.
*Icepenguin66, I was on GB about to make the exit so that swerving got me close to the wall... if i mentioned anything about feeling like an idiot it's only because i could have avoided this and i recognize it...
*Blackzx3... there was no driving style used here, just going on my lane and it wasn't crowded, true i could have avoided this by driving on the limit, but let me get this clear, i never drive to the point where i can endanger anyone else, the closest i've been was almost falling asleep on the wheel one time which i pulled over to the side of the road and got some rest... If i was speeding it was only because the tollway was empty at the time. (i'm not fired up over this either)
*riverracer, you're right, he didn't say jump your jets, actually i was the one who said it, wonder for your own reading skills before anyone elses aigh?

i was asking for opinions on the accident itself given the information of the cars damage versus what most ppl expected, by this i wanted to steer the conversation towards how the miata's are really good in this type of situations versus other heavier cars that would have stopped dead on contact and totaled the car...

My thought is you actually told us about you escapades on the Highway, you told us about the speed you were traveling and how the car had a brake issue. Seems like boastful noise to meyah wrecking on the highway is not usually something ppl do to impress others, nor to show off your skills, it's just something that can happen to everyone, yeah the car had some issues that were "adressed" by the dealership the week before this happened. why do you get the illusion that this is done to impress anyone?

This is simply a STORY of what happened, a story as any other forum would have in here, aigh? BTW, the point here is that i'm looking for a bumper, so yah... have fun.And who could forget you epic tale of showing off for your friends and slamming your car into a curb.
Your the one giving us the information that is causing us to reply that maybe your driving skills could use some work, and slowing down (AKA Cooling your Jets) may be something you want to consider! If you don’t want a reply don’t post.

Chris figured it out - it ain't that difficult.Don't get too bent out of shape; you're not going to receive any empathy after commenting that you fishtailed at 90 mph and needed to replace the brake pads.
Mouglie, we hardly even know you, but what we do know about you so far (wrecked your car badly enough to damage the suspension while doing donuts on the street, wrecked your car at 90mph on the freeway with bad brakes) would lead me to conclude that you're an idiot with minimal driving ability, and a threat to those who share the road with you.
I'm not trying to call names, just trying to call it how I see it.

I don't necessarily want to jump on the bandwagon here, but IMHO altiain has pretty much hit the nail on the head. You've come on an open forum to regale us with your escapades, and now you're feeling a little... ah,er,um... abused. I think you'll find that the folks on this forum rarely applaud your "style" of driving, so if you've come here looking for sympathy or a hero's welcome, you've come to the wrong place. If, on the other hand, you are recognizing your past transgressions and are looking for (1) help on repairing the damage you've done, and (2) advice on how to be more responsible on the road -- while still having fun in this great sports car -- then hang out, listen, and learn.
Mouglie, I'm looking forward to you proving that our initial impression of you is wrong...
