oh my god that story sucks Majestic!!! Iv heard of the hydro lock. Sounds like it hurts the poor engines a fair bit.
Do us a favour, if they write off the car, send us those LED's on the headlights?
hahahahhaahha
Then go buy another Z for $65k and with the extra $15,000.... well perhaps you should invest in a small boat... or at least a jetski... ;-)
Hope its all fixed up soon mate.
