Hope you're ok. You can’t fix your body as easily as fixing the Z. That’s the important part.
Yep, here in AZ, that's automatic fault regardless of circumstances. Their logic is that the person turning left always has the last chance to avoid the accident.

As long as your liability insurance is strong you probably have nothing to worry about but you might take a rate hit.

Yeah. The cop told me at the accident scene. Basically it's always your fault in that scenario even if I was screened by a big bro dozer turning in front of the guy. The cop had a z too. He was sad for me.

I told the geico lady "if there weren't mitigating circumstances what would make you think I would turn my beloved z in the path of a maniac speeding through an intersection " but I know they are bound by it. Just like if you hit someone from behind you're always liable.

That part is what it is. Well see about my rates.

I'm just sad about the car and wondering what's next. Another z with forced induction this time? I really would like a factory five 818c. Maybe a second gen viper? Maybe back to land cruisers and get a 200 and build it up? Were on vacation and I rented a jeep and I like it a lot. Maybe a newer jl four door to build up?

Honestly i try avoid lefts in certain intersections. Glad youre okay. Hope you get decent value back.

The Z is a solid car and can literally take a beating. Judging from the accident it could have gone a LOT worse.
