Some member in this forum has 2yr full replacement if you get in an accident.

finally some real good newS!

Since the car was brand new, all the parts were on back-order.
But finally got news from my shop that the parts are coming in
this thursday and the car should be ready by this weekend!
The real good news was that my mechanic told me that if the
car doesnt drive right after the repairs, i can take it back to the
shop and they could take a look at it again. But if they cant see
the problem the insurance company will have to buy back my car
and i could exchange it for a new one.

lol i am having the "waiting for the Z is almost unbearable" moment
all over again.

I've never heard of this, but I hope it works out. I absolutely would never take the car back. This is how I lost two second generation Eclipse GSXs (rear-ended and someone running a stopsign). Even if it drives fine, get a new car. You'll thank yourself later even if you are just excited to get the car back now. That's the best advice I can give ANYONE.

Glad to hear you're finally getting some good news on this. Are they installing your JWT intakes as well?

That wouldn't be bad idea.

LOL my first 370z encounter in SoCal i almost rear ended him too... well he was going too slow and i was playing with him hahaha

arcticreaver · 02-23-2009, 04:58 PM

probably me, hehe. i'm driving VERY slow these days.

!xoible · 02-23-2009, 05:02 PM

idk, it was a gray car with no lic plates, in lake forest turning onto enterprise at like 8 am in the morning.

arcticreaver · 02-23-2009, 09:55 PM

okay not me then.

HATED1 · 03-11-2009, 11:00 PM

glad your ok, this really sucks, if it was me i would wish that they would consider it "totalled" so that i can pick up another new one. Sucks that this will pop up on the carfax report. Hope you get what you can out of the other driver.
