New 2013 370Z

kenwood · 09-08-2012, 12:11 PM

Greetings,

As a new member of the forum I thought I would share a picture of my former mint 2003 350Z. I live in SoCal and the ground shakes down here. We had some earthquakes last Sunday. In any event, last Sunday I went for a ride on my Ninja and when I returned I was greeted with the attached unbelievable sight! The 350 had been parked in the same location for ~ 10 years without incident. On this Sunday the trans was in 2nd gear and the parking break was engaged. For some undetermined reason the 350 rolled backwards in gear, jumped off the driveway and perfectly impaled itself on a granite bolder. (Go figure!)The upside of all of this is I now have my 370Z dream car. (with a little help from 21st Century)

Wow sorry to hear about your 350z, but the upshot is now you have a 370z. Welcome and Congrats!!

Wow that's absolutely insane and comical how that landed there so perfectly. It looks fake to be honest lol. But congrats on the 13', pics?

Welcome. Was the 350 a total loss?

Welcome!

Yep… My (’03) 350Z was declared a total loss by 21st Century. The Nissan Dealership where I purchase the 350 had $10k in repairs before replacing the floor boards that had been cratered by the impact. Frankly, no one thought that the chassis could be fully restored to factory spec. They would have to put the car on a jig and weld in an entire new floor section. (Good luck). 21st gave me fair market value for the 350, so after the shock… everything worked out OK. The 370 is amazing!
