Axle laying on the highway got kicked up by another car and I had nowhere to go. This is why I don't buy nice things.

Miata down!! Sorry to see this, major bummer. At least the axle didn't go through your windshield or soft top. Is any of that on the bumper going to buff out?

Seeing this hurt me right in the feels. Did you cry? I definitely would’ve cried, tears of rage.

Why was an axle on the highway?

So that’s how Axl Rose broke his foot, he got run over on the highway and hit by a Miata. Bummer.

Sucks. I hit a surprise garbage bag earlier this week and cracked the bumper a little so I feel your pain. Pretty bummed.

Noooooooo! This was the best NA Miata I had seen in forever, and you just got it. Do you plan on repairing it?

Shitty dude. That was one clean NA. Maybe insurance will fix it for you.

Thanks man, trying to decide whether to file a claim or if I can get it done for around my deductible.

Had a moron run right over a completely avoidable retread a few months ago that required me to replace my grill, fog light, and knock a dent out of my hood. Sorry about your luck, bro.

That's probably about how my wife would describe my reaction right now.

Sorry to hear that, at least I got a good look at my assailant, sounds like you didn't even get that much.

Thanks, should be fine when it’s all said and done, just pushes back the timing of a couple of upgrades.

I saw enough of it to go from 65ish to 60ish. In the end I tell myself it could've been worse and it's just a few bent fins on the radiator and a crack in the bumper when it could've been a destroyed car all together.

Last week I was driving on the highway at around 11:30 pm in my NA. I saw a huge animal in the road and I couldn't decide what to do so I just hit it and man did it make an awful noise. Mercifully nothing broke! The dogs wouldn't leave my car alone for a while though, I'm pretty sure I've got a leg jammed somewhere in there:)

I once saw a driveshaft in the middle of the highway... similar curiosity.
