He was in my RX8 behind me and i hit a bad patch of gravel, in the rain….and well the car didnt turn....i was only going 35....it looks alot worse than it is....if you look right were the gravel and the grass meet in the back round....its a 3 foot slope so when i went down it, it cought the bumper and ripped it off....he wasnt that mad casue he was going faster than me in my car…He even said that if i hadnt done it in his car he would have done it in mine....and my car was only 2 days old at the time....we took the car home a put it on jack stands and checked everything out....i only damaged the bumper and made a little dent in the fender...still it cost me $1300….oh and that’s me in the back round calling a tow truck….he was laughing at me and taking pics….i was more upset than he was…probably because I knew I was gonna get sooo much S^@t from everyone when we got back to the house. He actually still lets me drive it.

To be onest i dont think anyhting would have been damaged if it had been my car.....my bumper doesnt sit that low....he srapes on everything....the funny thing is the tow truck driver said he had gone off there a few months before.....he also said that there is a law suit against the land owner because the gravel is comming frim their side road and they refuse to clean it up....i geuss that in the past 20 years of him owning the land their have been hundreds....HUNDREDS....of people who have gone off there.....he said that they go to that location every other week some times more....i will admit it was a 25 mile an hour curv and i was going 30-35...but you cant tell me that car cant do that... You can see other tire marks in the pics from the two other cars that went off in that week....so yeah hopefully i will get my money back if the law suit goes the right way.

From Rotaryfest, last weekend:
Mine:
A couple shots of the size of the crowd. There were at LEAST 100 rotary powered cars there.
Us Mazda owners are a lively crew!!
All in all, a beautiful day on Treasure Island.
