I guess I'll join the crash club too

Sorry to hear that, sucks..... hope it won't cost too much to get it fix.

When I first saw the title of the thread, I thought it was another steering lock incident. LOL

My insurance agent says so.

But it's this way with most high-performance cars. Especially "attainable" ones like a Z. I used to have a WRX and did my fair share of NASIOC, back in the day. Same story over there. Visit any Mustang or Camaro forum and you'll find similar tales of woe. Especially in the winter.

Back to the OP...

Glad you're ok. That's a freak-out moment for sure. Poles suck. Good luck dealing with insurance. That can be great or awful, depending on your agent & carrier. I hope you it goes well for you.

ChrisSlicks · 01-23-2012, 10:28 AM

Just say no to Winter driving unless you have the right tires.

Hope you can get it fixed cheaply outside of insurance

CC_370z · 01-21-2012, 09:28 PM

I have a front bumper, but it's Monterey Blue in color. If you are interested, pm me.

Glad to hear you are safe. Kuddos to all the club members that are reaching out to help.

I'm not local or I'd tell you to come pick it up at the house, but if you want to cover shipping it's yours.

PM me....

Wow, that's nice of you.

RedDevil · 01-21-2012, 10:59 PM

I hear that, i drive my Z in 20-30 degree temps when there isn't snow/sleet. The tires absolutely hate it (stock tires), but what can you expect? I have one heavy turn on the way to work on the highway and I take it easy afterwards and if the bitches behind me are pissed that that I'm only going 5 over, then screw 'em - they shouldn't be going that fast as it is...especially with their awful driving skills.

too soon to say "Time for a body kit"?

oleg · 01-22-2012, 01:48 AM

Hey guys thanks for your responses, I'm very excited to see that people are willing to help me out with this. Yes the VDC was off so that wasn't smart on my part I understand, the reason I had it off because it would help me to get going when I come to a complete stop in the snow because it would always kick in and limit the revs to 1500 for me.
As far as going with a body kit, If I end up having to get this fixed through the insurance because the city makes a claim to it about the pole, then yes Ill most likely get either an amuse or a stillen front bumper.

Replied to your PM, fire me your zip code and I'll get a shipping quote on Monday. Can't see it being more than 50-75$.
