Shows what the bogies on the Miata forum know.
 Yep, would appear so. I do know I need to figure out a way of smoothing out the ride though. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Yep, not many cars over here that're smaller than it. The iQ and Smart Car is the only thing I can really think of.
Ugh, I hate when nails, screws, etc... find their way into your tires. It's not so bad when they're old, but on a tire with lots of tread life... Road Hazard Warranty ftw. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Somehow a bumper cover, hood, fender, and door is $3,700 of damage. They refused to consider parts already in white to remove the cost of paint, which would still make it some $2,200... It's like $1,000 in parts off eBay at the most, they insisted on buying from overpriced LKQ... They wanted me to leave the car there so insurance could do their thing, screw that I drove it back home and I'm having insurance send out an adjuster. I have their parts list, have to get an estimate on the windshield tomorrow as the shop overlooked it. I'll just have them pay for the parts and I'll just do it myself...

Yep... Have to call tomorrow and setup a time for the adjuster to come by. Supposedly just have to give them the list of parts and prices and they'll write out a check. In that case should get $1,700+ which will allow me to get parts easily enough myself.

PFFT, they'd more likely buy cheap parts from Sorta-Fit and still charge you top-dollar.

They had in the paperwork where the parts were from LKQ or Keystone. They're a preferred shop with State Farm and ALFA that I know of, so they do quality work. Which I guess was part of the problem, being an insurance claim they had to use certified used parts and just couldn't grab whatever off eBay or from a junkyard even though I requested it.

I lost two brand new tires to punctures on two different cars in one month. I was pissed. On the Celica the nail went in the edge of the tread and out the sidewall like a fishhook! The other car hit something under the snow and punched a big flap into the center of the tread. -------------------- |

Nope, have to make as much Hell for insurance as possible. My rebellious nature compels me to do so.

She said I deserved it. o_O -___-;;
She wanted to talk last night and work things out, and last thing she told me before she stormed off was, "you're an a$$hole (due to my hunch), and I hope you realize how wonderful of a woman I am." If cheating on someone makes you a wonderful person, I dunno what a saint would do....murder someone? -------------------- -Alex {](O_o)[}
