SIMOTA1's journal....

Mr&Mrs · 08-04-2013, 11:20 AM

Thats how I feel, less than 3k miles and coming up on a year of ownership. For me icing on the cake was a guy running me off the road on Wed. last week and getting away. Now I have a f'd up front bumper and CF lip that has to be replaced. I am probably selling mine for sure once I get the bumper fixed and lip replaced.

Yep im fine thanks man. The damaged was actually caused by the grass being 3ft tall. It was a curb less median. The guy pulled out of a parking lot ( I swear he looked right at me ) and came right at me. Natural instinct made me avoid the accident, only place I had to go was the median. I slammed on my brakes but I wasn’t stopping quick enough so I went into the median, it was the only choice, besides him T-Boning me.

The grass was so thick I almost got stuck. I really didn’t even think anything was damaged. I lost him in the mix of things then pulled over to check it out. The grass caused a plowing effect and popped both corners of the front bumper out where it meets the fenders, and cracked the lip all the way through just off dead center towards the driver’s side. Small chip of paint/fiberglass gel coat came off drivers side of the bumper.

Damage really isn’t that bad thank god, but that parts are so rare and take forever to get. Bumper can be fixed with ease, lip has to be new.

I called the Cops they said since the guy didn’t hit me they can’t do anything. My insurance told me the best I could do is get my deductible back if I got a court order for the video tapes from the McDonalds he almost hit me in front of. Problem is my rates would still go up because I had an "accident" by hitting tall grass......so im just paying for it myself.

As my motto says Live in Learn in the future im going to close my eyes and let the tard hit me. This has happened hundreds of times in my life so far driving but never had damage. Now that I know how it works the Laws are so stupid, at least in Florida.

I feel the same way about mine when it sits un-driven for a few weeks...Then I drive it and all that crap goes out the window.

Good man !!!! Glad you came to your senses brother. Most people drive down to a shop and have them do the work and claim they built there car. Only a few can say they have built there car like you have, it would be a shame to see all that hard work go to some one else. Drive the sh!t out of her and enjoy.

if you do sell it sell it to someone in the UAE so you get your money...or part it out which will be painful.

Wiggins3377 · 08-04-2013, 02:38 PM

Don't sell it!!!!

I had those conversations...they go completely different though....

knockoffs is the word you should use, don't be nice!

I'm an a$$hole though

guamspyd3r · 08-04-2013, 05:11 PM

I had one convo with a guy who had varrstoens and he kept telling me I should've saved money by purchasing varrstoens instead of volks, I hate when convos go south by someone telling me what to do with "MY" ride

And I'm happy you decide to keep the Z Jon...more power to you yo

Navyboy916 · 08-04-2013, 05:29 PM

Jon, just remember hondas were cool when you first started driving and now seeing them no one can actually stand out anymore with hondas or even those slow *** scions. Your car is sick bro. You know I went to the drag races the other night to watch and when I was leaving the only car that cost more then mine was a GTR thats it so at the end of the day they are still driving a honda.

simota1 · 08-07-2013, 04:54 AM

^Damn sorry to hear that. Similar thing happned to me. Waited 3 months to get my Mine's spoiler and when I finally received it the wing was...simply put... flawed. But didn't want to wait another 3 months so I just put it on anyway. Sadly disappointed with Mine's. I expected more.
