I've been on this site for a while and it amazes me how many people post their accidents. Is posting it online the first thing you think about after the initial shock of the impact? I'm just really curious because posting my accident online would be the absolute last thing on my mind. Plus you get pages and pages of "sorry to hear that."

Or maybe after some people go through such a tragic event it helps to have others that own and love the same car give a little comfort. I think its a good thing. After reading this thread I will be looking out for the sliding more often since the temps are cooling down. Thanks for the warning guys

so what..he was just in accident and he turned out to be fine, all he can do is let the insurance do the rest. I dont see a problem posting that at all...other members post pics after they wash and wax their Z's! I think we all know what a clean Z looks like and most replies are, "nice pics" or "nice n clean"

i think its a good thing when people post their accidents because looking at those pictures of totaled Zs and comments makes me want to drive safer and take care my car better IMO.

I'm going to be perceived as being insensitive but I was thinking the exact same thing. As if we need to acknowledge the fact that one of "us" has died.

Not saying this is the case here but I bet in most cases Z crashes happen because of the driver's silly wreckless driving. Follow the damn speed limits, drive safe & save us from having to see another crash thread.

yep the stockers suck in the cold... even when i had 3k on em.. now i got 14k.. im getting falkens soon for the winter
