Man what a day, Im gonna +1 rep ya just for the story time.

Your Z is still in your driveway at the end of the day... instead of the salvage yard... =)

Great story, made me LOL. 3 strikes and your out, good thing you parked it after that. :p

Hopefully tomorrow will be a brighter day!

damn, sorry to hear... not sure if this makes you feel any better, but my younger kid got sick right after drinking a full glass of orange juice and reverse thrusted through his mouth and nose and man, it was not pretty.

yes, i got to clean the table, all the chairs, floor, his cloths, put him in a bath... typical for me though. :D

I've said it before and I'll Say it again!

Some days are just cursed like that and everything goes to crap. Glad the next day is always only a few hours away.

287 sucks. I drive up to Boston from Philly a couple times a year, and I always dread 287 around the TZ bridge. The construction work seems endless yet nothing seems to get done.


Good to hear your car is ok.

Thank you all for you kind comments! It certainly made me feel better!

The first week after I got my new car, I parked it in the garage. I opened the garage door and some stupid dog ran inside. The owner ran into my garage to retrieve the stupid dog before I had a chance to tell him to stop. He basically picked the dog up and held in his arm, and the stupid dog was waving his two front paws and left two 5-in gashes on the driver's side's door. Worse, my car is black.

Now the car looks like it's driven by Wolverines.

Man, sorry 'bout your day! There's always tomorrow...

I can relate to your squirrel story - back in the early- to mid-eighties I owned a 1982 Mazda RX7 (up until I bought the Z it was the best car I ever owned). Not too long after I bought it, I left work late, so it was dark out - just the street lights giving some (but not much) light. I'm just gunning it and shifting into 3rd when something in front and to my right caught my eye - it was a cat that decided to try and run across the road at exactly the wrong time! I realized that my only hope of not hitting the cat was if either the cat decided to quickly stop and turn back, or if I slammed on the brakes as hard as I could - which even then probably didn't guarantee that I'd miss the cat, but would guarantee that I'd probably lose control of the car (and who knows what would happen then). So, I decided to let evolution take its course - I let off of the gas, but didn't slam on the brakes. I heard that cat's head hit the undercarriage of my RX7 at least 3 times. As I drove on I looked in the rear view mirror and saw the cat still standing but now walking (instead of running) across the road - I'm guessing it had one hell of a headache the rest of that night!

After reading, I find it lucky that what happened was all, you could of rear ended up so that would of been a total Z, rims scuff up you're lucky. Lucky it wasn't a bird or eagle or deer that jumped in again destroying your car.

I too had the same issue when I got my civic I accidentally put about 5 gallons of regular into my car and freaked out, it shouldn't harm it put some techron concentrated in your car run it all out then fill her up with some 93 octane!

lol:icon18:

Would have lost my ish
 

Dude! While reading your thread I was like poor guy and then I came to the gas part. I am sooo F'ing glad that it's self serve where i live. I think i would have flipped out and lost my cool at that! I proly would have beat his *** right then and there because that type of thing enrages me. I mean who in the hell is he to just put whatever the hell he wants in your 30k+ baby. It just strikes a nerve. The squirl, ehhh it happens

Well at least you took your car for drive, but sorry for your mishap. I work today and was one of the most TERRIBLE days!! That is why I'm drinking some good Whiskey to go to sleep.

Tomorrow is my day to drive the Z around!
