Drove an 8 hour round trip plus took 2 ferries to get these pictures but damn was all that worth it. I fully detailed the car before leaving, then brought my quick detailer with me to get the bugs off the front end once I got there 🔥 hit 100k miles on the way home and I think anyone is hard pressed to find a better looking car at that mileage. Mazdas are amazing cars, this light little front wheel drive beast handled like a dream even on the sand.

Got off work on March 31 to discover this. 2017 with just over 99k miles. I was absolutely devastated, this car is my pride and joy. State Farm was incredible though. I made a police report and called State Farm, they called my nearest body shop. Body shop called me first thing the day after and I was able to get it in same day. A week and a half later I picked it up looking better than I’ve ever seen!! When I bought it there was undisclosed damage from the prior owner in the area that got hit and ran. I haven’t seen it look so nice literally ever. Plus the body shop is a mom and pop shop! Insurance only paid for aftermarket parts, only the headlight (which is recycled) and mounting brackets are OEM. They also did me a favor since insurance wouldn’t pay to paint the undamaged hood and clear coated and buffed it to get rid of the rock chips. My beautiful Diana looks the best she’s looked, plus tomorrow will hit 100k miles. I was so sad, but so elated now that she’s home. Also, this is your lesson in having uninsured motorist coverage. $3500 repair plus $300 to drive a rental all covered by insurance (except my deductible)
