To be honest she won't be the same. If it were up to me I would just start clean with a NEW Z.

If you think about it and have to save for who knows for a GTR? Take into account the owner costs to maintain such a car even if you get a great deal on a fairly used one.

Now if the Z's in $ ballpark already? Why not? It cheaper in a sense and won't break the back to maintain plus being a little more affordable you could still Mod it if you wished. IMO

oh believe me i know exactly what you are talking about, but say if they are able to repair it i still owe a little over $15k on it and just like alot of people i would prefer not to carry any negative equity into a new Z no matter how good a deal they offered me lol. Believe me i'm weighing out my options though and if need be i'll just go back to a little honda civic beater for a while that i can just buy outright until i can get myself better situated to take on another Z.

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
