Z totalled in 7 weeks.

Why do you keep blaming the neighbor? He had nothing to do with your issue with the speeding truck/failure to yield.

hansoac · 05-23-2011, 06:36 AM

That sucks man but keep in mind the positives.
1. You came out OK.
2. You can get a brand new Z..or wait a bit and get a mid-cycle refresh

Red__Zed · 05-23-2011, 06:37 AM

Are you getting another z?

whoady4shoady · 05-23-2011, 08:28 AM

The only problem i have with the neighbor is that he lied, but besides that the truck driver is the only person really at fault here.

m4a1mustang · 05-23-2011, 08:34 AM

Sorry to hear, man. Glad you are OK.

DIGItonium · 05-23-2011, 08:47 AM

Sorry to hear that man... sounds like he used you to bring a shiny new Z over to woo the salesmen. Glad you're doing alright... no response from the neighbor?

neighbor's not to blame. He was trying to work a deal to buy a truck. But even if it was a fib, who cares? He asked for a lift, you gave one.

The cretin who clipped you should be tried in court. Did that guy hit and run, or did he stick around?

Mt Tam I am · 05-23-2011, 09:31 AM

I hate your story. I hope for all the best. Good luck.

DaveyG · 05-23-2011, 12:30 PM

Who cares?! The guy lied to get a ride for nothing. I guess some people think its cool to lie and get your car totaled when if the neighbor would have just took his own car, nothing would have happend.

Unknown, sorry to hear about your misfortune. Guy sounds like a total dickbag. Im surprised it seems like the majority here are all coming from the same consensus in that you agreed to give him a lift and the other guy was speeding. But I feel for ya man. I think of it the same way you do. The guy wasted your time, lied to you, and now your left with injuries and no Z. If you had known he was trying to negotiate the car deal, you probably would have said no to giving him a ride and so you were mislead. Kinda makes you wonder if the fate would have been different. That kinda crap will eat away at your mind. Good luck.

VCuomo · 05-23-2011, 10:50 AM

So should we start the betting as to whether or not the neighbor ends up suing the OP?

Whole thing sucks - the neighbor didn't cause the accident, but he's an a-hole for lying to you to get a ride in the Z (if he hadn't done that, the accident wouldn't have happened in the first place). Looks like you're going to be the one "at fault" - that really sucks too.

Sorry you're in this situation.

tonybui · 05-23-2011, 10:57 AM

Well it sucks that you've lost your Z but why blame the neighbor? it was an accident that noone knew was gonna happen. Don't be immature, the Z is not a Lamborghini

On the other hand, Did they neighbor at least feel bad OR act like he felt bad? if not, he is a douche LOL

chops · 05-23-2011, 01:03 PM

i honestly dont think the neighbor is to blame. i mean yes because you gave him a ride your car ended up in an accident..but he couldnt have forseen the truck smashing into you. i had a similar situation happen to me. my friend called me out of the blue and asked if i could go check out a new house with him. long story short on the way to meet up with him i hit a puddle (it was raining that day) as i was braking and ended up rear ending a civic in my old car. would i have not gotten into an accident had i not agreed to meet up my friend? yes. but is it his fault? no.

you cant blame someone for an accident like that. i mean..unless he could see into the future. you did agree to give him a ride. you could've easily said sorry you had some errands to run and that you were just dropping off your wife!

anyway...sorry for the loss. hope your insurance co gets you a new Z soon!!
