Wrecked my Z..
 

Nobody was hurt. VDC was on.
Pics later..

EDIT: Sorry for the late update! Ah yea it wasn't bad, but it could have been if I stalled after I initially hit the other guy. Incoming trucks were going to smash into me if I hadn't gotten out of the roadway. Accidents happen when you least expect it. I was trying to make a left on a busy street.
There was nobody across from me so I focused on my left and my right. When it was clear I just went and I forgot to look across from me if anybody was there. That's when I hit him in the middle. He was trying to go straight and I was turning left. Anyways, thank you guys for your concerns. Greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Misaligned the wheels/hood. Ruined the fenders and bumper. Headlights are smashed. I hope there are no internal damage.

Be safe everybody!

noooo gunzero! hope everyone involved is okay

sorry to hear that. there seems to be a rash of wrecks here lately...:eek:

Sorry to hear that Kid!!

bummer. sorry to hear that.

Sorry to hear. What happened?

:iagree:

You're okay, and that's all that matters.

:iagree:

Not sure if this was a factor, but everyone please be extra cautious with your summer tires as the temps start to drop. I've noticed that especially with my very worn tires, they're much harder in the 60F weather than they were in similar temps last year. I slip all over the place before they warm up.

:iagree:

Just wait until the Fall and Winter weather kicks in! ;)



BTW, glad everyone is OK!

yah, RE050A's are known to get kinda slick especially under 50F.

dunlops seem to hold better in lower temps.

oh no dude, im glad your okay! trust me i was just in your shoes. i totaled mine about a week and a half ago. cars can be replaced, lives cannot

Man that sucks, sorry to hear that .. I feel your pain .. I had an accident just a few months after I got my Z and a hit and run while my car was parked two months after I got it back .. Good to see your ok ... Everything should turn out fine. That's wat insurance is for .. haha

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:driving:

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"

When someone posts about buying a new Z, or getting a certain aftermarket part or doing the mod themselves, we as fellow members of the 370Z community congratulate and celebrate with the poster. So, if someone decides to share not so happy news, why would you not expect to see the same kind of support in the form of "sorry to hear that"?

By the way, does there seem to be a high number of "wrecked my Z" posts lately? I just came across 3 of them on the first page right now. What's happening guys and gals? Be safe.

OP...glad you're OK.

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
yea getting colder lol Glad to hear you ok dude

awww **** man, that sux :-/ sorry to hear, atleast you werent hurt or anything, should be fixed like new :)

ouch man...as long as everyone's alright, its all good...this is why we purchase insurance :)

Sorry man. You'll get her fixed.

ouch.. that damn dumbo sidemirrors probably blinded u when you made the turn, huh?

it doesnt look too bad. probably $2-3K and you're fixed. :) glad no one hurt.

did the airbags deploy? if so add another $1K or so...

Only 1K for airbags would be nice, but that's probably about a third of what it'd actually cost.

Sucks that it happen Gun, hope the shop you take her to understands that perfection is a requirement.

Also sucks that some people just like to piss in other peoples' Cheerios. :drama:

Maybe you are correct. I hope all heed your warning. I would think that slicks or worn tires might give you more grip in dry weather. Cold tires and cold weather are always an issue.

I hope the OP's damage is easily repaired and back on the road soon.

yah, i was only thinking the steering wheel bag but the passenger side would also deploy at the same time, huh? then yah, that's like a $3K ordeal..

Reset/replace the module too. Seat sensor = no pass bag deployment

Thanks guys, Ah the airbags didn't deploy surprisingly. The left side wheel isn't straight. Messed with the alignment or broke something.

what kind of car was the other person in? were they pissed?

Nah he was actually nice about it. A 50+ year old man.
He was driving his sisters '93 Ford Taurus.

ah, better than hitting a Type A personality in a BMW. i guess this kind of goes against the story of 'some ******* in some shitty car crashed into my nice car WTF!'

your car won't be totalled, no way. so you pay your deductible, wait, and you're good. if they are willing to write a check for the amnt, maybe you can get some mods out of it. maybe the GTR Fenders and some aftermarket front bumper?

No frame damage = not wrecked.

That sucks (just suffered a bit of damage from someone recently myself), but this is what insurance is for. Get it fixed and it will be good as new.

You may get your deductable back too if deemed not at fault. Good luck!

Unibody.
