Puleeese..... That little damage actually on the door is obviously photoshopped by a jealous Nissan driver. As far as deflecting a buick? childsplay for a Miata door.

Just imagine the damage Z door would have taken given the same impact. The door would be complete ripped off.

I'm guessing the Buick completely dissenegrated, leaving this tiny dent.

RIP Semi Driver who was killed after T-boning this Miata. His body was never found in the wreckage.
