got rear ended...

What was the person doing that hit you, text messaging? We have had one friend get rear-ended, and another friend's husband killed by drivers who were sending text messages over their mobile phone while driving.

People in this country need to respect driving more. When you are in a car, nothing is more important than driving.

Second that.

All that matters is that you are ok.
Did you hit the car in front of you? You mentioned that your airbags deployed.

AK370Z · 02-11-2009, 07:41 PM

I am very sad to hear this. But we are all glad that you're okay. Anything can be replaced but you life or part of your body can not!

As Phil said, "Did you hit the car in front of you?" also, make sure they DO a very good inspection before estimating the damage and DO NOT settle of used or non OEM parts. Ask your adjuster if you can take it to your local Nissan dealer for fix.

I hope there's no chassis damage. It absolutely sucks if you do and they don't total your car. They have machine that "supposedly" straightens your car chassis but it never feels the same again. I was a victim of a "irresponsible" driver as well.

Hope everything works out at your favor and keep us posted. BTW, is this the first 370Z accident reported?

Glad you are OK. Good luck with the insurance and repairs. Make sure they take care of it right.

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

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.

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