so coming home from work the engine starts to bog down, might have something to do with the intake i just installed or the fact that i was overdue for my tune up ...but my dashboard looked like christmas ..its still hazy, so i drop a gear shoot from the left lane passed the right lane onto the shoulder behind a semi truck who was in right lane ...as i get onto the shoulder theres a car parked there ...BREAKS ...SLIDE...SWERVE all at the same time into the trucks dual axle and a wall ...ive gone over this in my head so many times replayin this to see how i could have done things different....im so depressed right now ...i dont know what to say except thank GOD nobody got hurt.

 

that sucks...

do i hear 09 rx8 in the near future?

 

holllyy %#$!,

I hate to see an 8 like that hopefully, at least no one was hurt like you said,

keep us posted

 

lol^ or an 09 H1 the way i feel now...j/k

 

Another addition to the "Gallery Of The Macabre "

Oh man, sorry for your loss...what were the odds of a car already sitting there on the shoulder...that sucks man

but to stay on the positive, glad no one got hurt...

 

OMG...the horror

 

Sorry to see your 8 like that. But as mentioned it's a good thing nobody was hurt.

 

sorry that happened... at least no one got seriously hurt. even when your car conks out, you have to be careful switching lanes.

its' happened to me before in my honda civic. all the sudden the engine completely died on the middle of the freeway... first thing i did was immediately turn on my hazards and then pump the brake pedal to warn cars behind me. then gradually try to move to the right safely, which i did- all the while with no engine on. (sorta gliding over.)

sudden lane changes usually are stressful and unpredictable. gotta be careful. you're better off just slowing down in the lane you're in then suddenly jerking over to the right...

 

Atilla, you'd never seen the Macabre?!

OP: sorry to see your car in that condition, it's a painful sight. I can only imagine what it would be like to go through that.
Keep you chin up, hope that the insurance company pays out a good amount and we'll see you in an '09 soon.

 

OH DOOOOD, that HURTS! i remember when my 1st one got totaled...i was pissed and sad all at the same time

 

You always remeber your first love...sorry about your lose man.

 

sorry for the accident . glad you are ok . i know how you fell after totalled myself 2 cars when i was younger . good luck and have fun buying your next new car .

 

Good thing the pics of my car aren't in that "Macabre"...

 

I have never totalled a car but man that looks painful

 

yeah alien you NEVER wanna be in that position

 

Oh my god.....poor 8 =(..... Make sure you get yourself checked out. Even if you don't feel anything now, the extent of an injury can be felt later. Keep us updated.

 

thanks for the support guys ...i did go straight to the hospital and x-rays came back negative. no broken bones. just some light bruising. so thats good i guess.

 

Good to see you're OK. Let's hope that this works out one way or another. Bad luck, bro.

 

Well... look on the bright side -- Whatever mechanical problem you had that was going on is a moot point now. Insurance is gonna buy you a new one.

 

i dont know why so many people suggest buying another rx8. dont get me wrong, i love my car. but if it was totalled, i wouldnt get another. life is too short to buy the same car twice.

so what happened? you lost control when you tried to make a lane change? if thats the case, sucks, im sorry.

 

really sad gallery, but it's impressive how good the 8 looks even when wrecked.

suspect, hopefully your insurance company will take care of things honorably (some of them are scum) and you'll be behind the wheel again soon.

 

i completely agree with you although I would think about buying a new rx8 if mine got totalled just because I enjoy it so much

 

I gotta agree with your first statement, unless I found some insane deal, I'd move on to one of the several dozen other cars I'm in love with.

As for the wreck I'm guessing he didn't see the car parked on the shoulder behind the big rig's blindspot and ran out of room or brakes.

 

oh weird, the cars silver....HMMMMM

but I'm sorry for your loss, there's nothing worse then losing your first love
