Wrecked my Z!!

sjilzian · 05-30-2010, 02:22 PM

Well guys I have had the car for a couple of months now less than 4,000 miles on the odometer and I get into an accident. front end is damaged pretty bad the air bags deployed luckily no one was hurt besides my Z what do you guys think is going to happen? I posted a pic it really hurts to look at!

Are you okay? Your Z will be assessed by your insurance company and they'll let you know how matters will proceed next.

Sorry to hear that. Looks like you may have rear ended someone? Take it to your insurance approved body shop and pay deductible, and youll hopefully see the car in two weeks. Insurance premiums will for sure increase upon renewal.

Seriously, it's just a car, one among many to come, your health is by far a better investment. The fact you came through unscathed is the biggest upside to the whole ordeal.

well from the looks of it you rear ended someone so your ins is going up. But that is not as bad as it looks, it can be fixed fine.

Its wierd I have heard of more Zs being wrecked in this forum in less than a year than I did in 2+ yrs in my last cars forum. Im thinking the avg age of a Z driver has alot to do with this due to the price of the car being affordable and it having alot of power that younger drivers seems to be getting into trouble with, not that this one had to do with power or speed as I dont know what happened.

Glad to hear your fine.

i did rear end someone and luckily no one was hurt. my air bad deployed and the car wasn't drivable i'm concerned with hidden damages under all the body damage and would hope they consider the car a loss.

Looks like C&D brake failure... lol. Glad your ok but you gotta be a way more responsible driver. I hope you weren't texting, on the phone or doing some stupid sh1t like that? God knows how many times I almost got hit or had to swerve or pull some maneuver in order to avoid being t-boned, rear ended or sideswiped by some idoit playing with a phone or nav system while driving. I'm gettin tired of it and road rage is about to set in. Jail might be in my future.

steveg78 · 05-30-2010, 02:44 PM

I doubt it's a loss. How fast were you going? Looks like all the parts that were designed to crumple, crumpled... I think it looks a lot worse than it actually is. Hope it works out for ya.
