As sad as it is to see a 40th hit...it only looks cosmetic. Find a notable body shop in your area and get it fixed!

Did the air bags even go off?

Wow, Rui Z, I'm sorry to see that. Hope you're ok along with any passenger you had. Damn, dude.

This frustrates me to no end. Being one who was almost killed by an old lady in a Caddie I definitely agree with you on the Exams every four years. [they should be free btw, no need to tax the old folks too much]

I love this thread. You share your accident story and then offer to sell the car. That's not something I see everyday. lol

Wow another 40th damaged...

I feel for you!

optiontrader · 11-12-2010, 09:07 PM

You were going 10mph? How fast was SHE going? Some serious tearing there of your front body panels.

Hate to see a 40th hurt...

It appears like you didn't have your car under complete control or you wouldn't have been hit.........LOL

BTW: I'm 68 and I own a 370 a X-Runner and a Bimmer and wait until your my age and I'll bet you change your idea about exam's

TacoZ · 11-12-2010, 11:16 PM

Sorry to hear about the car. I guess I won't be seeing that sexy 40th anytime soon on Jamboree. If you do sell it, are you planning on gettin' another Z or something else?

chuckd05 · 11-12-2010, 11:20 PM

why didnt you move your car ? are you just stopped in traffic with that truck having no idea your chillling taking a picture of your car ? lmao

370zproject · 11-12-2010, 11:23 PM

did she run?

Cmike2780 · 11-12-2010, 11:32 PM

looks like a shark took a bite out of it. I know what you mean about a repair, but honestly, that isn't really too bad. All of those panels and the hood can be easily replaced since its just bolted on. Have it replaced with genuine parts and she'll be good as new. It really depends a lot on which repair shop you go to. You should at least consider researching for a high end, high quality body shop that can do the job well, unless of course you don't mind taking a hit from the resale value (no pun intended).

dang370z · 11-12-2010, 11:41 PM

You could always get insurance money and buy a Amuse front bumper or any other one your interested in. Take it to a positive look

As for resale price, it shouldn't really matter unless your one of those who has money to spend on a new car every time a new model comes out.
