    Wow, that thing took a hit for sure. 
    It sucks that you were doing nothing wrong and got hit like that, never a great situation. I'm glad to hear you're doing okay though! 

    I gotta ask, due to the head on the windshield, were you wearing a seat belt?

      Yup! The seatbelt was actually the cause for my broken back and the internal bleeding. Im 6'4" and when we got in the accident I was sitting pretty relaxed which caused me to have a bunch of movement.

        That is awful and I am glad that you're doing well. Looks like you will probably have a good bit of money for mods to the miata after this. You know even though it isn't a BMW, you don't have to leave the forum=)

          Dang, that's quite an accident. Glad you all pulled through. Unfortunate for everyone.

          Keep us in the loop. I had a turbo Miata (loved it), and Kaiser loves Miatas as well.

                All primed up ready to go to the painter Tuesday or Wednesday! For anyone wondering I used 2 cans of ProXL Pro Ultra build primer. 13$ a pop but that was what I was told to use. He will spray another layer of primer the base then clear. 7991eba47640100cbab3bd7df28b52fd.jpg7c51c977e50ba0d327479172b07f3fba.jpgb9ed0fd289163e23aa16cf651516ac6d.jpg

                    I also made the mistake of buying a set of "mint" Depo headlights. Needless to say the mechanic who took them off broke one and the guy who sent them out didn't check before sending. He refunded me 50$ and I am selling them for 110 today.

                    Buying zkws or Boschs from Earl's friend sometime this weekend.

                      I bought it at Auto Value. But I'm sure any auto paint store will have it.
