4th July nightmare :(((( Wrecked Z

dmhenderson · 07-06-2012, 03:58 PM

Also broke my hand punching the dash in the aftermath.
"ha ha"

864Zbeast · 07-06-2012, 04:01 PM

Oh my! That's awful!

dmhenderson · 07-06-2012, 04:18 PM

The cop that showed up to haul the dead deer off of the road during the aftermath allowed us to drink the beer we had in the back earmarked for the BBQ while waiting for the flatbed to show up. To quote the cop, "Well technically no, it's not allowed but **** if I were you I'd have already been drinking"

Wow, hurts to look. I feel bad for you OP, some stupid foolish kid. Don't feel bad turning down the insurance offer if they try to cheap you out. There was a great advice made about depreciated value; that could be worth looking into.

DMHenderson, sorry to hear buddy. You should add that broken arm to the insurance bill ... I would

Nah, that's my "idiot tax".

Oh well, at least I get to have that bird bomb clearcoat scuff I've been fuming over removed.

Edit: Angled to have the car piece-part repainted in black cherry but my shop said they couldn't justify it.

It's always sad to hear this happen to a fellow Z guy, let alone car guy. Hope he's paying for it all . How old was this guy?

In the end some things work out I guess! Too bad the shop couldn't justify the extra cost.

Old enough to be smacked silly. Sometimes, I wish we were in a third world country... I've witnessed things like this get settle in the streets before the insurance company gets involved... You see what I mean?

rhd · 07-06-2012, 05:59 PM

Bad deal dude, at least YOU are OK. That would make me crazy! The most important thing is your alright and will live to drive another kicka** ride someday soon.

Let us know how it goes.

onzedge · 07-06-2012, 05:19 PM

Hang in there man. I hope everything works out.

ts-c63 · 07-06-2012, 05:21 PM

Thanks for the support guys and the kid from what I was told is 18 years old

Sh1t sux, lost my 09 to a wreck. There seems to be enough damage for a possible total. It really just depends on your insurance company. I wish you well. And don't feel so bad about the car. The best part is that you weren't in it but you still got the guys insurance. You're paid bro, regardless.

as much as this sux's big dog balls, I agree here. You could be spending the next year in the hospital or worse. Remember that the insurance companies hire people to save them $, so let your insurance company deal with them and don't settle for less than you think you should be getting to replace the ride if totaled. Remember, you had to work to save for a year, so don't let them just take it away.

Waiz · 07-06-2012, 05:33 PM

Oh man, I'm sorry to see this happen to you OP

Don't sweat it, hopefully you have good insurance and can just get another one

ts-c63 · 07-06-2012, 06:36 PM

I'm just waiting for the police report to be ready and then I can get the ball rolling.. Rule number one guys park as far away from and human contact as possible !!! I learned the hard way

... I didn't even get to do a dounut in the car yet!

SPOHN · 07-06-2012, 06:39 PM

Sorry for ya. It's one thing if you did it. But for another is BS. It's not totaled. Hope it all goes smooth.
