Hmmm... race car chassis?

Glad you are both okay!!!!!

Forget the tail lights. They'll have heat damage...that car is a s'more now. The emblem is salvageable, but honestly, who cares. Insurance will have Sundown a new Z in no time. Sport package this time!

I think I'm going to push for a Nismo.

Damn that's insane..get good rest and recover soon and come back w/ a new Z!! (^.^)

wow i am really in awe at the damages and shocked at what happened. My condolences to the occupants of the truck and their family members.

Also i would like to applaud you on your very professional handling of the whole situation. Obviously both you and your wife are very well trained professionals and it take a lot to have such a clear mind to control the situation while in pain. I feel glad and safe to know such professionals are working for our medical centers. (and by our i mean the usa =p cuz im in canada, but still good to know people like you are around and helping save lives daily)

The nismo would be a great choice. You can't beat those sport brakes. That's for sharing all this info, makes me feel very safe. Besides being toasted, thr car held up great structurally for a frontal impact. I'm very impressed. God I love these cars!

Wish you a speedy recovery my bionic friend

Nismo FTW

Every time I read threads like this one, I'm glad I have a relatively safe sports car.

Makes you almost glad the extra few hundred pounds on the Z actually help save lives. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall any fatal 370Z accidents heard about on this forum.

Kirkster · 02-19-2011, 05:08 PM

For once, I don't think this will buff out...

Sad to hear about the occupants in the other vehicle.

Good luck healing up...
