So, I got a new RX-8 a few weeks ago. I've only managed to get 620 miles on it so far and some a-hole ran into it when it was parked on the street last night.... and didn't leave a note or anything.

Man, I'm pissed.

Insurance covers the whole thing. Nothing out of my pocket, but the pain in the ass factor. This car is a management lease vehicle, it's a good thing Ford owns controlling interest in Mazda or it would be tough for me to find a good car to drive. We get new cars every year. The wife gets the tow vehicle and I get the fun car. We do pay for them, but it's relatively cheap and insurance is included.

I filed a police report yesterday, not like that will make any difference. The only identifying marks on my car are from a rubber bumper strip. I could go around and look for red paint on other cars....

The thing that pisses me off most is: There were no driveways in the imediate vicinity, so someone had to really try to hit my car. So, in my opinion this was no accident. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

The Euro SVT is a great car... I just hate the fact that the traction control defeat button doesn't totally defeat the system. The wheels are much stronger (I actually bent 3 of my original wheels and then bought a set of the Euro wheels) and look much better. The seats are simply incredible. You'll have fun with that car.
