Went out and traded my Neon in for a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata MX-5 Turbo 2 days ago. Got ass-ended tonight on my way home. WTF While I was stopped at a stop sign. Person stopped behind me, then pressed the gas again like an idiot and smashed my ass with their huge truck. Time to file insurance claim.

Confused. According to wiki there were no MazdaSpeed Miatas in 06... (3rd gen)

he 2004 model year saw the introduction of the official turbocharged Mazdaspeed MX-5, Roadster Turbo in Japan. It featured an IHI RHF5 VJ35 turbocharger equipped variant of the BP-4W engine that produced 180 bhp (134 kW) at 6000 rpm with a front-mounted air-to-air intercooler. The MAZDASPEED could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.4 seconds and had a top speed of 203|km/h|126 mph. Other features included a special suspension, upgraded 6 speed transmission and clutch assemblies, upgraded drivetrain components, Racing Hart 17 in (430 mm) alloy wheels, special interior trim. Perhaps the most obscure detail change of the MazdaSpeed overhaul of the MX-5 was the fitment of a custom, lightweight oil dipstick. The 2004 Mazdaspeed MX-5 was only available in Velocity Red Mica and Titanium Gray Metallic while the 2005 model was available additionally in Lava Orange Mica and Black Mica. Of the 5,428 Mazdaspeed MX-5s produced during model years 2004 and 2005, 4,000 were produced in 2004; the 2005 production run was shortened to only 1428, due to a fire at the production facility. Also during the 2004 model year, a division of Mazda in Japan produced the Roadster Coupé, with an integral hardtop roof. The body structure was reworked to incorporate the roof for a substantial increase in chassis rigidity and a weight increase of 10 kg (22 lb). Production was limited to 350 units for Japan only

Sounds like a typical Kokomo driver hit you- was he in a hurry to get back to Billy-Bob's?

Sorry to read about this.

Well, at least they will be paying for it.

I about got rear ended in Kokomo when I was passing through a few times. 31 is not friendly.

Hooked up my boost gauge today. (mazdaspeed miatas dont have them) Found out I'm running 9 pounds stock. Noice.

Damn 1k, that's an expensive tail light. On a car this small, you're lucky it wasn't much worse.

@Uriah - Ye. I was glad it didn't do worse damage. Found out tho that the sheet metal in trunk did get pushed in. Up to 1500$ in damage now lol
