Zeds dead baby. Zeds dead. Still kind of in shock. Has to be a total right? Went to make a left turn, saw a blue blue, next thing I'm sitting

Default Thanks to Nissan safety engineers

Zeds dead baby. Zeds dead.

Still kind of in shock. Has to be a total right?

Went to make a left turn, saw a blue blue, next thing I'm sitting in a smoky car facing the wrong way. I've taken plenty of hits racing karts but never anything like that. But I walked away unscathed. Banged my finger a little but I'm fine. Airbag hit me in the chest but I'm good.

God I loved my z. What a ******* shame. Pardon my language.

My ce28s survived as did my back wing and tinted tails and my exhaust and and cats also will be there. I want to recover the ce28s. How does one go about that with the insurance company and adjuster? Can I buy it once its declared a total loss? I've heard of that in the past but have no actual knowledge on it.

So sorry to see that. You have the option to buy the car from the insurance company, I believe.

I was able to buy mine back. Once they determine it's a total loss let them know that you'd like to buy it back. They'll determine a value and present it to you.

Krazzzz,

Any accident that you can walk away from ... is a good one! You are one lucky SOB. Praise the big GUY upstairs, buy another Z and get on with your life. Glad to hear that you are fine!

Judging by the other car in the pic, it was a typo, I think he meant blue blur.

Why call a lawyer? I'm assuming it will be a pretty standard totalling of the car where the biggest dispute is going to be related to the value of the car. I definitely owe way less than even the most parsimonious estimate of it's worth.

Just asking, not trying to be cocky. Is there something I should protect myself from?

Insurance company should provide a lawyer. It's just good to protect yourself.
