I hope they total it and you buy another Z... (I wouldn't feel safe driving the Z after seeing that pic)
Personally, I'd buy a beater and wait for the next Z or Mustang... I can't do the FRS because I feel like it's a soulless car... 200hp... Wow... My 1998 and 2001 Avalons had as much... My 1998 was faster to 60 than the current FRS (please don't ask me why, I know the last time I ran it before it got totaled it did a 0-60 without rollout in 6.1 seconds)

May I now ask a really prickish question?

Can I have your fender liners, I'll buy you a beer and let you drive my blue Z!

I would say sure you can to the fender question but totally out of my control at this point as far as a beater goes though just picked up one yesterday with really low miles on it for a car from 1996 so now its just down to playing the waiting game until I have a good chunk of change to pick up another Z or something else down the line but I may just wait and see what everyone has to offer towards the end of this next year...that or I may end up just saving up for a gt-r and just keep it as a weekend car when I get it

dam dude just saw this, unfortunate what happened to your Z, hopefully you get in a new one soon, or better like you said a GTR. Save up bud. GL.

one word....don't! lol....but back on topic, anyone else have any other good suggestions i might be overlooking as far as drivers cars go, i would consider buying used too in case...matter of fact i was also checking out a used cobalt SS turbocharged since it's one of the very few FWD cars that actually holds its own pretty well through the corners

try out one of the older mini cooper s, you know the one with the supercharger, not the new one with the turbo

if you swap the pully on that supercharger, you will make really good power and the p2w ratio will be ridiculous(its like 2300lbs with 260hp)

Before i wanted a Z i was looking at getting into a BMW 135i or 335i. I strayed away from them because of the horror stories of break downs once you really start modding them. You can get a used toyota supra, corvette zo6, bmw m3. My choice would always be the Z hands down. I always see beamers, corvettes and such but i rarely see a 370. I think they are going to total your car there is front frame damage. It won't drive the same if it's fixed. Good luck!

Subaru STI. They're mad fast around town, and you would have less to worry about on wet roads.

Well guys I think I've made my choice and decided to consign myself to a little beater car for the time being just in case this ever happens again I don't have to rely on a rental and I can keep the miles off of whatever I decide to buy in the future but as of right now I'm leaning towards a used gt-r or another z maybe this Gen or next thanks for all the help guys and I hope I can still come to the meets even if I don't have a z or a sports car for the moment lol

Well its semi official z has already around twenty thousand worth of damage according to body shop and they are still wrapping up their inspection...time for a beater

This little accident , may cost you a lot in the long run, seeing as it is your fault and a total loss.

Before you buy a new sports car you should first call for some new quotes with different insurance companies and see it your rates have sky rocketed. Don't believe your current company if you ask if there are going to drop you or raise your rates.


In most cases like yours, the insurance company will drop you as soon as your 6 month policy is up.

Its my first incident in being with esurance in the last four years I've been with them and my policy was just renewed after the accident so I guess we shall see

1st

Pour out a little octane for another Z that is dead and gone.

Just call a few companies and compare pre accident price to after the accident price with 3 companies. About 20yrs. ago I totaled a nissan truck in an accident with another car and my insurance doulbed for the next 4 yrs. It forced me to drive a small sentra, with very high deductables for 4 yrs.

One tip on your totaled car make sure that they give the full Retail value of the car plus sales tax on that amount they value your car at. Most states require this by law.

Also any extras you put into the car add up the retail value , even floor mats , trim , stereo etc.
