My car...is now gone...R.I.P

envisous · 09-24-2018, 03:31 AM

My car lived a short life. 5 months to be exact. It was a fresh new baby to the world. It only got the exhaust upgrade. Didn't get to see the new spoiler I ordered, didn't see the cute stickers or plasti-dip colors I had chose to go with it's matching wheels. All because of an 87 year old lady running a red light.

The whole front end has shifted. It's dead. It's gone. But Nissan saved my life from a 40 mile an hour old lady.

Glad you're ok! Sucks about your Z though. Do you think you'll get another one?

jchammond · 09-24-2018, 07:13 AM

Glad you’re OK,
As mine was hit at highway speeds & the other vehicle was an Escalade traveling left to right,,,but at an 8 o’clock-2 o’clock angle.
I never seen it coming till last second....slid & rolled,broke a lumbar disc & pelvis.
Though it really hurt my pride- I’m very thankful to be alive & back working without pain. Only some soreness that Tylenol & Advil work well on.
Don’t let insurance company screw you!

That really blows, & glad to see all the safety stuff worker as it should have!
Thank goodness you're OK

I have GAP, so hell yeah I'm getting another one! I'm gonna let one of those accident attorneys handle everything. I have a giant knot on the side of my head from the damn window airbag, so my eye is a little swollen. I also have that really nice seat belt burn that hurts like hell, but other than that, I'm good!

The whole time in the emergency room, I was thinking should I go red or white this time!

Glad you're okay and passion red!

Wow! That sucks for the Z! Most importantly you are alive and uninjured. You have insurance, now let the process sort out the details. Maybe a new and even better '18 or '19 Z is waiting for you. Good luck to you.

God-Speed · 09-24-2018, 09:25 AM

Glad to see you are alright. Remember, Cars can be replaced!!

Trips · 09-24-2018, 10:52 AM

Im so sorry to hear what happened.

Im glad to hear your Okay thats the important part.

What a fukin jackass to straight up run the red light

Good idea of recording the ride makes it impossible to lie and blame you.

Hopefully this doesn't deter you from another Z, But again that maybe strike 3 if you know what I mean

Thats ZR1 is starting to sound good about now.

Again glad to see your okay, and keep us posted.

mults · 09-24-2018, 11:13 AM

Wow...that sucks. Glad you are OK and hope a replacement vehicle (Z or other) comes soon!

Spooler · 09-24-2018, 11:22 AM

Just makes sure you are 100%. The car can and will be replaced. I still suffer from the idiot that hit me. I just live with it.

Ian B · 09-24-2018, 12:06 PM

That video scared the crap out of me when you can see it coming and there is no stopping. Glad you are ok, just get the insurance matter resolved, heal yourself and go get your next car.

Glad that your ok as everyting else can be replaced. Be glad you had a camera as well. I had a simular situation earlier in the year. Had a chick run a red turn arrow on me when I was on one of my bikes. I had an eye witness & I still got screwed. The only one that stood behind me was my insurance. Ended up in arbatration 7 months later only to get a 50/50 ruling

Hope it all shakes out for you.

sp911 · 09-24-2018, 12:28 PM

red, for sure. much rare on a rare car to begin with. hope you recover well and quickly.
