    Hey you're right, he used the F word! Congrats you two.

    As for the car, well I had similar simple looking damage to just my bumper cover and one headlight last winter. There were a lot of things tweaked in behind but it was all fixable. Be glad you're both okay.

    If the spooks on the steering wheel are still in the same locations as before you are most likly OK, but wouldn't hurt to check the alignment.

    Another good reason for track/auto-x, develop those quick responses. Sorry to hear about your wreck.

    Yea but JRJ512 is one of the best autocrossers on our forum and still got in a wreck. He must've been distracted cause I don't see how an Accord would out brake him.

    Miata is a good performance vehicle but not exactly known for brakes, especially a 1.6 NA. I could see a newer Accord with big disc brakes outbraking a Miata.

    True. Maybe he has stock brakes for class rules.
