One Bad Day... Crashed My Z.

Sorry, but no one "freshy oils" a road. Oil was only used back in the day on gravel roads to keep the dust down. I design/construct roads for a living

I design/construct roads for a living and a new asphalt road will yield better traction then an older one. They may have crack sealed it but thats not oil either. Sorry to hear about your mishap with your Z. Spares suck.

Newly laid "asphalt", will yield better traction than the old one!
"But this is not asphalt"! It's a "oily tar slurry" that is used to cover the asphalt, or the old road!

That's messed up how the guy behind you didn't even stop to see if you're OK. That's one of the reasons why I left California. Too many people not giving a shite about others. The first year I lived in NC the wife and I where leaving a trade show when the dude in front of us on a Harley took a spill. I and two other cars stopped. I called 911 while the others helped make sure the guy was doing ok and moving his bike out of the way of traffic.

The important thing is you came out of it OK. The car can be fixed.
