The New Crashed MX-5 we posted about has been replaced by Mazda

A new Mazda MX-5 owner had the unfortunate incident of crashing his car only a few minutes after getting it. We had the story here.

Miata Forum member SCSM and his wife took their brand new Mazda MX-5 Launch Edition from Tom Bush Mazda dealership, but shortly after a Ford F-150 truck rear ended them.

Luckily, they got only minor injuries, but the car itself suffered heavy damage.

“At around 4:00 PM or so, BAM. BAM, and our beautiful new LE was no more,” the owner explains.

“We were shaken, Joanne took a ride with the EMT’s to the hospital and I was left dazed, amazed, stressed, and whatever emotion one could experience.

I also quickly realized that we were both still alive and functioning, thank you up there!!!”

Surprisingly, a couple of days later he got a phone call from Mazda North America and was surprised to hear that a replacement car will be sent shortly.

“Then, yesterday afternoon, I received 2 calls from MNAO informing me that my name was on a replacement LE 6MT that is in transit and will dock in Jacksonville around August 15.
On to Tom Bush soon after that.”
