I got rear ended in my '81 280zx(mint low mileage)..and I saw the SOB
coming in the rear view mirror..a big Chevy truck going about 35-40 and
I was stopped..

Not good.. no glass broke on the car but she was totalled(not being worth very much even in mint condish)..I did driver her home :-)..

Any pics of your car??

they (insurance co.) sure are taking their sweet *** time.

meanwhile i went to my doctor and got x-rays all over my body
and was informed that i had no problems.
He told me that since i was sitting in the car not knowing
the car was coming at me that my body didnt have the time to
counter-react to the impact. Meaning if i had seen the car coming
and tried to "fight" the impact then i would be in bad shape.

thank god

I didn't see this thread earlier, but I'm dropping in now. Based on a long-ago experience I had with a wrecked and repaired car, I would strongly advise that you take your repaired car to an independent place asap (not the dealer or the insurance place or the body shop that did the work) and have them check out the alignment on a good alignment machine. Have them correct any alignment issue they see (using the normal adjustments), and also have them check that there's breathing room to adjust (in other words, that getting aligned correctly doesn't now take some alignment adjustment piece all the way to some limit, because eventually you'll need the extra adjustment room for future adjustments).

If there was slight frame damage that was corrected (or so slight that the body shop thought it could be ignored), odds are high the alignment guys will notice when they check this stuff out.

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.

im really glad this is working out for you man. im planning on to buy my 370z really soon and i hope this never happens to me. im glad you are ok and everything is great

That sucks so bad bro... Hope you get everything taken care of. Some one mentioned a damn cell phone..... I got rear ended by someone that was reaching for their cell. F***ing idiots

tvfreakazoid · 04-22-2009, 03:25 PM

We were wondering if you have taken it to an independent alignment shop yet? What is the verdict?

mrmixitup · 06-29-2009, 11:29 AM

You didn't even have the plates yet?

Terrible.
