Totaled the Z today

Sundown · 02-19-2011, 09:59 AM

Luckily, my wife wasn't in the car with me. She was actually a couple cars behind me in her truck. We were headed to get something to eat, but had to take 2 vehicles because I was heading to work right after eating.

It was a 55mph zone and my right foot was still on the accelerator, because it happened so frickin' fast. There was absolutely NO reaction time at all. I just remember a green blur of a truck.

I think the fire started because of where the impact was. My nose hit right behind the B-pillar of the truck, I think. I assume that's where the fuel tank is on those trucks.

My orthopedic surgeon just came into my room and gave me an update. The plans are to go back into the OR tomorrow to finish washing it out and to have a titanium rod installed with screws and nail. I asked about carbon fiber, which was a no-go.
