man, sorry you had to go through that. I hope I never have to experience that. Good to hear you love the Rotary and got yourself another [white one].

Welcome to the club.

Welcome to the club.
You must be the first to understand the 'curse of the silvers' before joining the club!
Congrats on the new ride.

Glad you will always drive a rotary just stop driving into things...

Welcome, its sad to see a perfectly good 8 like that. But at least you were able to get a new one, I hope nothing happens to her.

when its raining like hell and you hit an oil patch on the road while trying to avoid a multi-car collision it not as easy to maintain control as it mite sound..... it was either the wall or 6 or so other cars.... i chose the wall..

Sounds like you weren't hurt, better the wall than other cars.

Better luck with the new 8. Welcome!

If only our car came with the new knee airbags that are arriving on more cars now.

It must have messed up the frame and the engine pretty bad.

Look at the fender..looks like it got pinched pretty well. Surprised the door isn't mis-aligned.

Can I get that transmission?
