I recently was in an accident with my 1997 Mazda 626 in which I slid into the rear of a truck. The car was a total loss and has been written off. I cleaned the vehicle out of my personal belongings today and turned in my key. I felt a bit sad when walking away knowing I’d never drive it again. I have had the car since 2005 and have many great memories with it. Some of these including Prairie Drift, the Klunker Rally as well as the first episodes of Overdrive.
I will be receiving approximately $4100 for the vehicle which I will be putting towards a new set of wheels. The Mazda will now be sold at a salvage auction where the buyer will do what they will with it. I have been doing a bit of looking into what I shall be purchasing now and so far I’m leaning to perhaps a late 90’s Jetta, but we’ll see.
