Anyone up for another quick get together?

Wow, thats awful stuff Tony but as you said could have been alot worse. I was wondering about those RE-11s and the Volks but again you did not damage them either. You'll be back up to snuff in short order. Hang in there brother! So now make plans to go to Zdays with the rest of us and it'll give you something to be looking forward to after you get the smurfmobile back.

I either overcompensated for the road as it was curving to the left or maybe my back wheels let go.....either way, I ended up crossing the double yellow and once I realized it I tried to shoot back over to the right side of the road and the point I decided to do that, there was a median just starting. I just barely clipped the median sign and snapped my drivers side mirror off.

Doesn't look that, right? Try $4800 in damage.

But, the good thing is....I didn't damage the Volk's or the RE-11's! They'll be back on next Spring!

Oh, but I did rip my Stillen exhaust almost off my car. I scuffed up the pipes pretty bad. Altered is gonna fabricate a titanium pair for me! So.....new tips, new repairs, and the engine is still ok. And all the other upgrades are still ok, too....thank goodness! Could have been wayyyy worse.

Yeesh, your repairs are worse than mine! Pocketbook wise, that is.

Ugghhh... We're making you take a bus down to ZDAYZ Tony! LOL!

First the taxi now the smurf? We gotta get you out to a track day with an instructor, LOL!

Seriously though, sorry to see that ugly mess. At least it can be fixed. Oh and call that number if you really are planning on heading down in May. The cabins and rooms fill up fast for this event. There's plenty of other lodging options, but staying at Fontana is the best since that's the home base for everything, esp. the parties at night.

ZCarMan · 12-12-2009, 11:27 AM

Man what a great day to be out! There were a few more cars at 10AM at the Starbucks in Fairfax but still plenty of room. Sat for awhile just drinking my mocha and catching some rays.

That link is to the area, but this is the site for ZDAYZ: ZDayZ - Eat, Sleep, Z

Nothing other than the date and lodging choices at this point. It will be updated as the event approaches though.

Where in VA are you located? If we get any other good driving days soon, we'll have to get a few of us together. I'd like to see your NISMO up close.

2theextreme · 12-12-2009, 04:47 PM

I think he's in Fairfax.....if I remember right.
