That's very unfortunate. Glad you are ok but as far as your car goes, it's a shame. Nice looking car.

Looks repairable.

Definitely repairable but fuckkkkk

Ouch!!!

That really sucks...glad you're OK and hope it gets fixed soon

Ouch.... looks like about $8k in damage..... make sure you get her insurance to cover a decent rental for the 6 to 8 weeks you'll be down....:icon14:



Was she yapping on a cell? f'n idiots.... :shakes head:

This is my worst nightmare. *****ng people on phones. Looks like 7-9k in damages. I will demand a nice rental too. That's very unfortunate.

I just want it fixed right honestly. and ill never drive the car for anything but a meet or to the track ever again. She was about 70+ and said she didnt see me....

Dude, main thing is you are OK. Everything else is repairable. Good luck.

This. I'm surprised you didn't beat the sh!t out of her in public. Glad you're ok though OP.

Just a shame, had my sti totaled less than a year ago. Its just a machine, still a giant hassle and a its car season

Glad you're okay. And glad that the lady told the truth and didn't try and blame it on you!

I feel your pain more than ever. No Fn fun. NONE!!!

Damn, that sucks OP but glad you're ok

THIS is your worst nightmare? Seriously? It sucks, but it's going to be 100% covered and nobody got hurt.

I ride a motorcycle and work in a BSL-4 lab... I'll trade you worst nightmares.;)

Really sucks. Glad you're ok though. Your Z will heal more quickly and completely than you would.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune but at least you're okay! And your Z doesn't look too bad. Mostly body panel damage from what I can see. My guess is little over 10K in repair. Good luck getting everything sorted out.

OUCH!!!!.. good thing you are OK..

Besides the car damage making you feel bad, are you sore or have any neck pain? Just get checked out. Damn shame on that new car.

70? tf.. they need to add a law to renew a driving test at 65 or something.. some of the older people in my area who drive slow, causes road hazards..

Glad you're ok. I had a little old blue hair run a stop sign on me in her mid-90s Lincoln tank. Stopped literally a foot from her driver door. I followed her into the lot and spoke to her about it. She was totally oblivious that there was a stop sign and didn't even know I almost T--boned her.

Get your appraisals from Nissan then go to Lexus. Make sure you demand New metal oem parts no dent pulling and bondo. Try to take off the nissan oem black small sticker that matches each part and try to carefully remove it from the old part and say you want the repair shop to stick it on the new part. Lexus does certified work that means it has to meet certain standards. like proper oem gaps and millimeters in paint thickness and clearcoat thickness. I would not bring it to a mom and pop bodyshop.

Good lord that's scary.

oh goodness, so sorry to hear. Cringed to see a Nismo that way.

At least it sounds like the Lady took responsibility. It could've been a lot worst if she tried to deny it. You probably have enough witnesses and other conditions to back you up, but it would've been a headache and lot more time to sort out.

I personally would suggest people to get dash cams. I have two in mine. A high quality one in the front, and a medium quality one in the back, with much lower profile. The front one is held by a rear-view mirror adapter as I hate the look of suction cups. The rear is tinted so that hides the suction cup pretty well.

It's one of those cases where it's better to "have and not need", than to "need and not have". This way, if it's the other party's fault, it'll be easily supported by your footage to show police and send to insurance. It'll also help others if you happen to catch an accident too. The $160 spent on this setup is well worth the ease of mind, imo. Especially for such nice cars.

Best wishes on the repairs. You should post pics on the results.

Talked to a cop friend of mine here in south fla. He says theres 1.2 million uninsured motorist in the tri-county area. Thats Ft laud, Palm beach, and Miami. I drive in all three counties on a regular basis. Plus 2-3 million retired canadians 6mons a yr. and yr around road construction every yr for 20yrs. Its like the old west down here driving everyday lol.

omg NOOOO!!!

Bah, my initial post with pics are under mod review, and if my first post with pics was any indication, it could be under review for weeks, but I wanted to post this message, so I apologize if my other post becomes a double post in the near future.

If anyone is curious about my dash set up, please feel free to PM me. Hopefully I can show you pics through there without mod reviewing.

That's why I moved out of that area back in 2002. Just too crazy down there. Lived in Palm Beach Gardens.

Glad your ok but this thread makes me sad :(

LOL. yea i hear that.

Again cop friend said he's used dash cam's more times against the driver with the cam then for the driver with the cam. It goes both ways.

Then that's the driver's fault. Like I said, providing it's not your fault, the dash will help you. If someone is constantly breaking the laws of the road, the problem isn't the dash cam, it's the driver.

That's true but I would still just stick to he said she said type of of thing in an a auto accident. But more power to ya.

I've been around too many people who prefer to lay blame on everyone but themselves. Guess it really depends on the environment. I've been burned before from people doing everything they can to avoid responsibility, which causes a very long and stressful insurance process. Even worse if the party at fault has a passenger who will side with him/her, so now they have a "witness" against your word which ended up with me losing a claim, once.

There are also incidents where road rage people would try to brake abruptly in front of you in an attempt to put you at fault for any collision, since majority of the time, the one causing the rear end is at fault. But if there was proof that the driver was intentionally trying to cause harm to you, you would have a stronger case.

Just food for thought.

I used to ride many many brands of motorcycles. Sold them all when I had kids. Trust me I understand.

I hear that a lot. I don't look forward to potentially explaining to a 16-year-old someday why I'm allowed to have a bike and he's not.:eekdance:

Well we now live in a police state theres a camera on every street light here in broward county fl. in the future the cops will have real time video on every law broken on the street as well as car wrecks.

Definitely sucks, but be thankful for no injuries.

Years back my beloved 280Z was totaled by an *** coming in the opposite direction. He tried to shoot a left turn in front of me and I could barely hit my brakes before impact.

I was okay, but my passenger did suffer from whiplash for awhile.

That's great, when that finally happens everywhere, and hopefully the accident (assuming not your fault) occurs precisely at a street light, in a camera angle that is beneficial to you.

Until they also add cameras in every stop sign, neighborhood intersection, entire freeway, and all other areas where an accident could occur (which is every feet of everywhere), I plan to rely on myself.
