WTF? Did he sucker punch you? Did you at least get a hit in?

No, he literally tried to run me over, I was standing in front of his car asking him to get out and exchange insurance info with me, luckly there were witnesses who called 911. Instead of ending up UNDER his SUV, I managed to make it onto his hood of his car and then climbed up to the roof as he was driving FAST down the road, he took a sharp turn and it threw me off his car and I hit my head on the road and got knocked out.

Because of it they put a charge of attempted vehicular manslaughter I think. Along with a DUI and endangerment and wreckless driving etc. I am unsure of the charges.

While I was on the roof of his car and he was flying down the road my life was flashing before me eyes, I literally thought I was going to die.

Having just today gotten mine back from the shop after a deer strike I can feel some of your pain.

Gawd.

That just sucks.

I wish you tons of Good Luck! Hope you find the exact car that you want. Cheap!

oh my god! Who does that?!
Wow! Glad you are ok. Omg. Again. Thats just crazy.

Glad you are ok. Glad the guy was caught. Hope you take him to the cleaners. Hope you get a 370Z

czirrfb · 11-21-2014, 04:56 PM

I want a 370z sooo bad lol I cant think of another car for under $25k that is as cool/fun/beautiful as a 370z.

Is the 09 years the same as the 2014? Performance-wise? Or is it the same as the DE/HR thing with the 350's? I made the mistake and got the "crappy" DE 350z without knowing there was a better performing 350z model.

I dont wanna make a mistake and get the "crappy" version of the 370z

Jordo! · 11-21-2014, 04:57 PM

Jesus Christ. Your life is an action movie and you got stuck doing your own stunts.

Glad you are okay. If that dude attempted to flee and tried to run you down he must have had a record and/or multiple past DUI's (or he's a just complete idiot/psycho...) so after this craziness he should be going bye-bye for a while... good luck with the lawsuit; you certainly deserve some serious compensation for all that.

There's two different shades of blue for the Z34 now -- the pre-facelift one came in a lighter blue and the newest one comes in a nice dark blue. Neither is Daytona shade, but I think you'll be very happy with one of those.

JARblue · 11-21-2014, 04:58 PM

Engine is identical. 2009, as the first model year, has a few more kinks that were worked out in the later models. I would look for 2011 or later. 2013 or later if you prefer the newer wheels and front bumper. If you are so inclined, with a little bit of research, you should be able to find all the minor differences in each model year (like the 2012 model introduced a small water-based oil cooler).

wanker · 11-21-2014, 06:47 PM

Glad you're okay. Get a 370z it's a noticeable improvement over the 350z. Do not hesitate to upgrade. You can easily find a used 370z in your price range.

czirrfb · 11-21-2014, 07:45 PM

Yeah it was like an action movie, I figured no "normal person" would attempt to drive away if you stand in front of their car, but this guy clearly had no value for other peoples lives.
