Project Galaxy

[Calebbel]

With a new car comes a new build thread. I went and traded my '02 for a 2006. Here they are together.


So far its really night and day compared to my beloved Candy but at the same time similar. I went and looked at dozens of different cars but in the end realized I just had to have another miata. I've got plans for this car so stay tuned but for now here is one more picture.

How do you like the NC compared to the NB? Good luck on the new project.

[Calebbel]

Thank you and I really like it , don't get me wrong my NB was a great car but I think this is better in basically every way.

[Calebbel]

Well this is not what I wanted to be the next entry in this thread but sadly today I was sitting at a redlight and a lady in a Durango hit me.

Man that's terrible...............

[Calebbel]

Yea I'm definitely not happy about it at all

[— Phatmiata —]

ouch, hopefully her insurance will cover the repairs? and damage to the frame?

Well her insurance should pay for the repairs and everything. I don't think there is any frame damage, the car drives fine and all but I honestly I don't know if that really means anything.

I wonder if she finished her text/phone conversation prior to hitting you. If people would drive their cars and focus on the task at hand, accidents like this would be much less common.

On the good side, you are safe.

In these situations, can cell phone records be accessed to see if the cause of accident was cell phone use?

[Calebbel]

Ironic you guys mentioned that because she was on the phone. I saw her in my mirror on it and so did the girl that was with me. That being said I talked to her insurance company today, a local agent is supposed to call me tomorrow.

[Calebbel]

I was able to get my rental car today, a little Kia Forte, and get my car into the shop. Its actually pretty nice but of course its not my Miata. It is nice to have something to drive now though.

[Calebbel]

Well even though the car is still in the shop I did get a package for her in the mail.

I just ordered these last thursday so I really wasn't expecting them to get here so fast but I can't complain about that.

[Calebbel]

Well a small update or I guess a big one considering I haven't had the car I got it back today and I couldn't be more happy about it, also I installed the ipod adapter thing I bought awhile back.

[Calebbel]

So no real big updates yet, coilovers are still sitting in the living room and I'm waiting on my check from the insurance company for "depreciated value" before I look into wheels but I did do something I've been meaning to do.
I picked up some of this stuff

I didn't think it would be as big of an improvement as its turned out to be but this stuff is pretty darn amazing and I'd highly recommend it.
Also here is a picture of the car at a car wash.
