do you mean the wrecked car? well i have 3 guys on here that want the rims. but i haven't heard anything for sure from any of them. but if i can find someone that needs the motor, tranny, and rear end. and whatever else anyone would want or need. and if no one does want any of it, there's a guy who already said he'd buy it wrecked. he sells all kinds of parts of 7's.

Man im sorry about what happend....but look it how well the 7 took the impact at 45 mph!!!! i mean yeah you got whiplash but thats it. The car is fucked...but you are not, and thats where it matters most. These little cars were built really well in my opinion. Get that insurance money and get your self another 7...oh and save those rims !!!!

Sorry for your loss. The good thing is, because the other car was a rental and they're at fault you should have no problem settling the claim.

thanks guys. i'm feeling a lot better then i did yesterday. i can move my neck 80%. still stings sometimes.
oh and about the comment about "my car being small" i posted that on my myspace and SBN (sportbikes.net) don't know how many guys on there know the size of a 1st gen. i just copied and pasted.
yeah i loved that car, but i love my life more. i plan on parting her out when i'm in the clear with insurance company. and trying to get a decent running 7 around here is hard. most guys want anywhere from 4k to 9k for there fb or fc's. i just laugh at them and walk away. most of them weren't even worth 2k.
i'll find a 7 some how. right now i have my lil ninja and my g'fs samurai so i'll save up and try to find one after winter.
thanks again guys.

yea i have considered it. but seeing as im broke as a goat now. and working a lot to stay a float. i wouldn't be able to get the parts switch over for 5 to 6 months if i tried.

i'm going to get things in order so that if i can part her out. i will post up and let everyone know by next tuesday.

Get well soon!

Sad to see someone get hurt, also sad to see a nice car banged up,

but at least you are ok!!!

And your cars death can help bring someone elses car back to life, which should make you feel a little better!

beautiful car gone. Very sad. But the car took it well. 45mph to most cars today would destroy them back beyond the suspension. Test crashes are at 40mph
