About 20 or so. For reference my mom takes it at 20 in her FWD RAV4. If it hadn't been for road salt I don't think I would have spun. I drove by there today to look for skid marks and there's nothing, I saw a slight path in the chemical on the road of my tires right before I smacked the curb.

All is well though, it could have been much much worse for my face if I hadn't dodged.

The sad part is that there was no snow or ice or anything on the ground and I think if there was none of the road salt/chemical or whatever it is they put down I wouldn't have spun.

Still deciding what to do, but I will have to repair the car regardless.

dude wtf? is it just me or does it look like the suv was completely on the wrong side of the road? in such a case i'd probably flash highs, brace for impact, and sue the living **** out of the british bitch!

well, i dunno if i'd actually do that, but id seriously think about it if a car was completely in my lane like that looks like..... oh, and i assume the suv was oncoming and you weren't passing a stationary one? that'd be kinda funny though, and sorry if you explained this already ive been out of the loop for a few days....

He was basically cutting in the corner...I don't blame him for not seeing my tiny car though lol.

As for the car, starting to buy parts for the rebuild, should be picking up my wheels tomorrow

. Time to beef it up!

CleanNeon98 · 01-19-2009, 03:19 AM

I've never seen these wheels on a Miata before, so hopefully it will be pretty exclusive.

oneday · 01-19-2009, 09:59 AM
