Well... Not a good day.. Car is totaled
 
So I was driving to my parents house today minding my own business driving down the road and this girl decided to pull out right in front of me at an intersection... long story short hit her going 50mph. The Z took the impact like a champ and absorbed the hit surprisingly well.

Sorry to hear it, hopefully you're alright. That's the main thing, cars can be replaced/repaired.

Did she at least have insurance and all?

Trips 04-26-2011 04:06 PM

I hope you were all right? I'm very sorry to hear that. :(
Time for a Nismo :ugh2:

Econ 04-26-2011 04:10 PM

NewlyIMPORTed 04-26-2011 04:17 PM

gnznroses 04-26-2011 04:40 PM

ooh that sucks man

houkouonchi 04-26-2011 04:40 PM

Have any pictures? You say the Z held up pretty well so I am curious what kind of damage the car has from a 50 MPH impact.

TheGreatOne 04-26-2011 04:49 PM

Jesus, sorry to hear man, your car looked great...

Glad to hear you are ok, probably too soon but think you'll go for another Z?

m4a1mustang 04-26-2011 04:51 PM

Sorry to hear, man. :( At least you are OK.

flashburn 04-26-2011 04:53 PM

I'll echo everyone else, glad to hear you are okay, but sorry to hear about your car.

Red__Zed 04-26-2011 05:07 PM

Colbizle 04-26-2011 05:07 PM

I would say something about this to the company and make them cover the cost to replace it. That's :bs: that just because you were in a wreck to drag your exhaust like that. Unless it had come off of the hangers? :ugh2:

hazzazi 04-26-2011 05:12 PM

Glad your okay...

birdmanx1 04-26-2011 05:14 PM

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, good thing you're ok ...

Svre46 04-26-2011 05:15 PM

Sorry to hear it. I had a similar situation with my TA back in high school. Get a replacement soon if you can...If you can grab the wheels let me know.

Mike 04-26-2011 05:21 PM

damn, glad you are ok. My friend wrecked her 350z roadster today too. :(

DIGItonium 04-26-2011 05:28 PM

Man sorry to hear about the misfortune. Glad you're okay. I get real nervous when people pull out of parking lots, drive ways, etc. Most people don't keep their vehicles fully stopped before making the next move and simply dart out of nowhere. It happens in the neighborhood as well, too! They disregard the stop sign.

ZCarMan 04-26-2011 05:31 PM

Very sorry to hear of your loss, but as with everyone else here, glad you were not injured.

Z1804 04-26-2011 05:42 PM

Bryce,
I'm really sorry to hear that bro. I'm happy that you're okay. I hope everything works out the way you want it.

Rui Z 04-26-2011 05:43 PM

Sux. I hope this doesn't scar you for life. I was hit going 10 mph in an intersection and I'm still paranoid sometimes when going through intersections.

didymus 04-26-2011 05:48 PM

Sucks dude!

FastPaced 04-26-2011 07:00 PM

Damn bro. I'm sorry to hear that. You got all sorts of crazy drivers everywhere. NYC is full of them! :shakes head:

sonic370 04-26-2011 07:47 PM

sorry about your misfortune. damn it kinda seems like the Z's are like motorcycle's all the other drivers on the road for whatever reason doesn't notice
them. there not that damn hard to see................

spearfish25 04-26-2011 08:18 PM

That's it. I'm not driving in to work tomorrow. It's like there is a hit out on all the Zs.

Not to thread jack, but mine was hit too on Monday... :mad:

Facilities work truck was backing out and scraped my rear bumper. (sorry no pics)

Luckily it was just cosmetic damage and the guy was kind enough to let the office I work in know he hit a parked car out in the lot and was wondering who owned it. His insurance is covering everything - pretty much taking off the whole bumper and doing a respray + clear to ensure color matching. Can't be too mad - ish just happens that's beyond your control.

PapoZalsa 04-26-2011 08:47 PM

Hope u are OK!

christian370z 04-26-2011 08:51 PM

Wow, glad you are alright! That is a big impact, something no one can really comprehend until they feel the forces themselves. There have been a lot of accident threads today, jeez.

Find a bunch of steelies (spare tires) and take your wheels off, you shouldn't have to give them up unless insurance is willing to pay for new ones.

Viera 04-26-2011 09:00 PM

I'm really sad for his loss atm.. it's as if i lost my own Z. But there's always something better to come, of course.

raybuck 04-26-2011 11:09 PM

I'm glad you are okay bud.

Nikon FM 04-26-2011 11:16 PM

Wow. Best of luck going through the process.

mikeSS 04-26-2011 11:23 PM

i have been there. late December 2010 i leased this brand new bmw. and i had the car for 3 weeks and somebody hit me going about 48MPH. they hit my rear. they decided to fix it instead of declaring it totaled. it had 17k worth of damage! to this day its still in the shop being fixed. the car has been in the shop longer than i have driven it... i am sooo pissed. but glad i am ok ! and glad you are ok !
