She feels pain!

Nitex · 09-29-2010, 07:43 PM

And i just got her all put together... sigh..... Older man driving an SUV and towing a boat did not realize i was on the outside lane. He then decided to swing a wide right hander into the gas station, and turned right into me

Well that's royally sucks! What damage did you do to his setup?

Nitex · 09-29-2010, 07:48 PM

^ not much really. Main impact was on his rear right wheel. I pop'd his tire and scratched up a small portion of body work. Not much really, and considering it was not a newer vehicle, not that big of a deal.

Now after waiting 2 months for my Forgestars, they want to repair them.. As i hopped on the curb on the right side, and left side was damaged due to impact. I am just not ok with them being repaired. I want replacements and may hold off for Forgestars new design, i cant post pics but i will let you know how i feel about the design soon. I may opt to try to be the first Z with them.

LuckyJinx · 09-29-2010, 07:49 PM

Wonder how much it'll cost him. I feel pain just watchin it.

specZ · 09-29-2010, 07:51 PM

all the oem stuff looks like its not too big a deal. Hope that wheel is ok and just be glad there wasnt more damage.

Nitex · 09-29-2010, 07:52 PM

Not sure, sounded like his insurance is going to try for a partial fault while speaking with them. But i am NOT at fault here and the law is on my side. So i will push hard.

My estimate was at 4.2k from progressive and you now they low balled.

Red__Zed · 09-29-2010, 08:06 PM

ouch. bummer man...

ChrisSlicks · 09-29-2010, 08:08 PM

That blows. At least it is all bolt on stuff.

LuckyJinx · 09-29-2010, 08:08 PM

Wheel-base still okay yeah?

azn370z · 09-29-2010, 08:10 PM

When my 350z was hit I took it to aldercrest auto rebuild. They did a really great job with the bodywork, can't tell what was painted. The only downside is that it took about 2 months to get it repaired because they have a long wait list. The other insurance co ended paying over 20k for the repairs.

Nitex · 09-29-2010, 08:14 PM

Great thanks AZN. Ill look into them, currently I'm scheduled at professional collision in mukilteo. I need to do some research but figured mukilteo has some nice cars and they have been in business for a long time.

Xan · 09-29-2010, 08:29 PM

That sucks! Good luck though!

Be happy you weren't on your R1...

Nitex · 09-29-2010, 08:32 PM

^ Good point, that would have been much worse. Hell now its my daily... geez..

kenchan · 09-29-2010, 08:38 PM
