That sucks. Glad that you're basically ok. However, we demand the sad yet embarassing full story.

I was on the highway and while i was switching lanes i hit an oil spot or something really slick which caused me to spin out at 65 mph and almost nailing an Infinty FX45 so I corrected it as best i could and over corrected and nailed the cement barrier. then I blacked out. I was told i bounced off the barrier and did another 360 and hit the barrier again. Both of my doors were shut and could not open. so i was helped out through the window. lucky that the windows were down. The keys are stuck in the ignition and it is still stuck in gear. the frame ended up being bent in a couple of places. even the back doors had some damage in the inside of them.

the engine might be toast. As it sits now it is still in manual drive with keys stuck in the ignition. I am going to look at a 2006 Rx8 GT black tomarrow.

Oh, have you gone gone to remove all your aftermarket parts yet? If not, I would say you are shit outta luck. There is a serious theft racket in Mid TN off cars sitting in a tow yard.

It is at Crest Caddiliac in the back. I havent taken anyparts off it but i dont know if i can. my insurance is taking forever on everything. and the Rx8 that i looked at today, the transmission was messed up and the dealer wont even let me test drive it because of the transmission. I cant find anything to buy here.. shit sucks!

Something you need to know:
-if the insurance company does not pay you for a specific aftermarket part, you have the right to remove it from the vehicle. Also, there are RX-8's all over the place for sale around here! How much are you willing to spend? I know of one for sale in N Alabama that is meticulously maintained, and a smoking good deal. The one with the 'transmission' issues, is it an auto or manual? If it is a manual, I can fix it in 5 minutes. You need to communicate man!!

Hey Zach, it looks like someone is using your "raspberry" gun that you wanted.
