The cops weren't after you guys, some idiot ran over a pedestrian on I-35 about 5:30 or so. It was crazy, the scanner was going nuts over it. I had to work so I couldn't make it. On a side note, I solved part of my 'can't go to meets' issue... removed the gf.... :rofl2:

ghotnit, victorofhavoc, i need to get your guys' numbers so i can call next time i fall like 2 miles behind. i was SOL on trying to catch up and had nobodies numbers.

side note, the cop that went buy me at like 100+ scared the **** out of me too much to try and play catch up lol

PM me and I'll send you my number. Also to all on here, I live downtown close to RiverMarket so if anyone is ever in the area, give me a shout

I thought about exchanging numbers. I didn't act on my thoughts though. I PMed my number to Edub and Victor

The estimate will be taking place tomorrow. I'm hoping it's super expensive because the guy who hit me is a complete douche anyways.

I will be out (even if I was able to get the time) for a moth starting Monday.


$7500 + rental as of right now. They expect it to grow as they pull the damaged parts off the car.:shakes head:

Don't forget diminished value after they get the car fixed.

I was told that will have to be taken up in small claims court because the insurance company does not get involved in decreased value due to accidents reported on the vehicle.:shakes head:

Very true, they don't. Is the person who hit you not responsible for paying for the damages? I'd think if you're having to pay for it you might as well just do the job in a small shop without insurance and keep the accident off your insurance record. More money up front, but less diminished value.

I doubt he could even float half of what it's going to cost. He's more than happy to let the insurance handle the issue. I know he doesn't know that I will more than likely hit him for the dip in value. If anything I will use that (if he pays) to upgrade the car.

you DD your GTR right? How many miles do you have on it? There's a guy at my work who has a white one and DDs his as well. He flips through cars quite a bit apparently, but he's been on the GTR for three years.

I wish I could use as a DD but I only take it out about 4-5 times a month. This just happened to one of those times. Now, when I do take it out, I drive a lot. I have put close to 28k miles on it in the last 1 1/2 years. It's been to Austin/Dallas and all over Missouri.:driving:

28k in that time frame? dang man, that's definitely quite a few miles! Sucks the guy hit you though. I wonder if he looked at it after and thought "crap this is gonna cost a lot"

He was actually crying after he hit my car and was screaming he was sorry. We were all laughing at him for the crying part. I was laughing for the fact he hit my car over a $5 screwdriver. What do you do.

Depends on the state and the way the insurance related laws are written. In Kansas, it says something along the lines that after an accident, the victim must be make whole, which generally includes diminished value. Talk to the insurance commissioners office, they should give you straight scoop on that. Based on what I've heard, small claims court is for amounts usually under 2k, diminished value on a GT-R is probably going to blow that out of the water. I've got a diminished value claim pending with Allstate after the idiot backed into my car, we'll see how it turns out.

Installed my leather seat covers today. Look and feel amazing. Really happy. Also test pipes were put on the day before with no cel so far.

Are these the ones from leatherseats.com? I was contemplating a set for my ForesterXT one of these days since the cloth ones are getting tattered.

clazzio.com. these would be a better value since the inserts are real leather and sides are vinyl. you couldnt feel the difference. plus they're slightly padded. i got it from a member on the370z.com for $200----$100 off.

Anyone show up to cars and coffee? I was knocked out

Why black? With a white car you could have got a lot of others colors.

I wanted different ones but got a good deal that I didn't want to pass up. I don't have a gold pot like many Z owners and still in college ;).

so who's excited and getting ready for this coming race season? I didn't see many Zs out last year at autox. We should have a Z domination day this year! They posted the schedule already: Solo Racing – Schedule and Results - Kansas City Region SCCA

There will also be several track days down in Tulsa at Hallett, and there should be 2 hill climbs and sprints a bit further away in Colorado.

Anyone interested in autox since it's so close and so cheap?

This place is dead.. I'll just leave this here...

Very "Amusing"

Any meets this weekend? get togethers? anything?

Not with the snow coming

February 18th Wednesday at 7pm is Burn Outs and Burnt Ends at Q39 barbecue

im ready to start meeting up again. i wish weather would cooperate

Well supposed to leave for Houston this morning but how ironic that it was snowing. So I'll try again tomorrow morning.

I went to Columbus last Thursday, got back Friday. I'm off to San Jose this Thursday and coming back Friday. Supposed to go to Orlando the first weekend of March, providing the job cooperates... :P

jeez, someone is stepping up their game. :eek: always wanted a black set for my z.

Q39 bbq tonight, but im def driving my truck.

i totally spaced on q39..... smh

i haven't start my car in almost 3 weeks.... i'm getting sad

:iagree: I haven't even seen my car for 3 weeks...:ugh2:

Tower, what's the ETR for your GT-R?

I haven't even seen one of my Z's in 3 months now. The other one, I have to look at the garage space full of parts for it every day. Maybe I'll be motivated to get it back up to snuff once it warms up a bit more.

I got it back yesterday but it may be going back due to the poor paint job I'm noticing.:shakes head:


Grand total of just the repairs was $9500..lol

Well a lady in her mid to upper 60's decided she didn't like the rear of my car today. My car is in front of her except for the very back part of my rear wheel and the small piece of rear bumper behind the wheel. She decided she wanted into my lane and just came on over.... She said multiple times including to the police officer that she looked back two times before she came over. When she said it to the cop, I loudly said that is fine but I was in FRONT of you......

Sounds like she was trying to take you out smokey and the bandit style...
