He's okay, so that's the most important thing...I had 2 pretty worried kids on my hands this morning when I had to wake them up to go to the scene of the accident, and I was pretty much out of it, worried about what I'd see when I got there. The cop cars and an ambulance didn't help...
When they saw their Dad, they both screamed with joy...
He was on a road that is famous for bad wrecks; the state is currently in the planning phase for straightening and widening the only curvy road we have, so there goes my twisty training
Mike said the back end just broke loose in a turn and the car rolled; he even thought at first a rear tire went, but they're all intact. The car is not...it's a loss, frame is bent, it's a '92 so we know it's not worth anything at this point as far as insurance goes...I'm so glad he had the hard top on it; I have yet to really know what happens when a convertible rolls...don't care to find out either...
Mike's sore, but he's obviously more upset over the car...he JUST finished putting a new motor in it, new shocks, even installed new speakers in the last couple of days...it was a fun slot car kind of every day driver, but I'm guessing after he dismantles what he can from it, it'll be scrap metal...
My kids offered up advice to Dad, saying "we can take it to a monster truck show Dad" so the trucks can crush it
Some pics taken a short while ago...I just now got to work... *sigh*
At least Mike's okay...quite a scare for us all...
Poor Miata
