5 day old Z sandwich....Not pretty...>

Sooo....Stopped in a line of traffic, guy behind me stopped too...Girl in a Honda wails into him, which pushes me into the Cherokee in front of me...She was clearly at fault and it was even recorded on video by a local store security camera..Car is drivable, but will need New front and rear caps,

Semtex's get smacked in the rear with a hitch; yours in the front! I feel for you as this sucks!

Thanks Socal....Yes it does (suck!). Maybe it's a Blue curse? The receiver hit dead on the aluminum structural brace up front...All parts look like bolt-ons, but a PITA nonetheless.. My Stillen exhaust is due in Friday and I was planning a drive to the Dragon next week... I'll probably just stay on plan as the car is perfectly driveable.... Blah....Just looks like hell!

You can see the deformation of the Aluminum bar in this pic:

Nah, it's more along the lines of DMV handing out drivers licenses to anyone with a pulse versus those who can actually drive!

Oh no!!!!!

Sorry to see hear and see this Steve! What a mojo killer! Glad you are ok though.

tvfreakazoid · 04-22-2009, 04:21 PM

OMG sorry dude.

zeebra · 04-22-2009, 04:39 PM

Yea sorry to hear... Usually you would say time to upgrade but there really isnt much out there for full replacement other than the Zele which is super expensive.

u155282 · 04-22-2009, 04:49 PM

ZPirate · 04-22-2009, 05:37 PM

Man Steve that really SUCKS! I figured that you had some pictures so I came over here to check them out.

m4a1mustang · 04-22-2009, 05:41 PM

Wow, that sucks

AK370Z · 04-22-2009, 06:07 PM

Wow, very sorry to hear this. Can it simply be the color blue? I drive a Monterey blue as well. Today, this girl totally ignored her red light and almost crashed into me. I had to floor the Z to avoid the accident!

Good luck with everything!

SOP for California drivers. My wife and I were approaching an intersection where we did not have to stop, but the other intersecting street had stop signs. My gut told me to slowdown and sure enough a young girl "text messaging" (she had the her phone on the top of the steering wheel looking direct at it while she punched-in keys) runs right through the stop sign in front of us—she never even realized what she had done. Had I not slowed down she would have t-boned my side of our automobile! BTW she was driving a blue Ford Ranger pickup. Believe me it's not the Monterey blue color—it's jackass drivers you need to worry about.
