1.8 Turbo Miata vs 00' Stang
Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2006 5:45 am
Hi guys...umm...I kinda have a sad story. Over the years, I've done a lot, and I mean a lot of street racing. Not only in Dhaka, but here in the States too. Anyways, I've raced a lotta stangs before and beat most of em...blive it or not, even stock miatas easily beat mustangs on track..(keep in mind, I said stock miatas beat mustangs on the track). Anyways, so it was about a month ago...I was at a light...not looking to race or anything...when all of a sudden, I hear the mustang across revving its 5.0 litre V8. I have a LOUD 
Borla exhaust with no cat...and I revved that around 4/5k rpms to show em who's boss...well the light turned green and we both smoked off...I actually pulled way ahead of him cuz I shifted at around 7k's...that's where miatas are actually supposed to be shifted, blive it or not...they even have a fuel cut off valve at 7k's to prevent any engine damage. Well, anyways, he eventually was getting very close to me, so I decided to change lanes and pass some cars from the right most lane. BIG MISTAKE...I was goin about 60 mph, and was about to pass a Ford Van when out of nowhere, the stupid van screeched to a halt with me tailing him :quesexclaim: . Well, you can guess what happened. I slammed right into him. :help: My miata's front end was totally smashed in...and I was literally in tearful astonishment as I approached the ******* van driver. I was screaming at him, but then I remembered that it would be of no use. I had PIP insurance, and I had hit him from the back. You see, America's realllly dumb. It doesn't matter if it's the other guy's fault...if you hit someone from the back, it's your fault. Isn't that dumb?? :blue_mad: ...anyways, so the van driver just left the scene without leaving me any info or anything...and I couldn't call the cops or anything cuz they would charge me!! :blue_rolleyes: ....newayz..after my accident, my winter vacation came and I left for BD...and just got back in this dumb country a coupla days back. Fixed my miata today...reallll cheap, so it doesn't look too good 
...But you know what? I learned a valuable lesson from all this. NEVER DRIVE IN THE RIGHT LANE!! Especially in FL, with all the old people on medication...If you guys want I could post pics of the car as it is now..already deleted pics of when it was smashed up...don't wanna remind myself...peace out :)
