It’s a new car owner’s worst nightmare; crashing your ride just after taking delivery from a dealer and it happened to a Miata Forum-member
known as SCSM this past Saturday. But don’t fret just yet, as this story has an unexpectedly good ending.

SCSM and his wife went to the Tom Bush Mazda dealerships to pick up their new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Launch Edition in Soul Red, one of only 1,000 coming to the States.

Little did they know that, moments after, they would be involved in a crash, as about a mile away from the Jacksonville, Florida dealership,
a Ford F-150 rear-ended the spanking-new MX-5 pushing it into a car in front. The owner and his wife suffered some light injuries,
while the car was heavily damaged – more so than what the pictures suggest, as the uni-body was reportedly bent from the impact.

Things looked gloomy for the owner, as he’d have to wait for the insurance companies to settle it out, something that could take a while,
but Mazda North America surprised him a couple of days later with a call in which they informed him that they would send a replacement!
