Wrecked my Z..

Gunzero · 10-12-2010, 07:14 PM

Nobody was hurt. VDC was on.
Pics later..

EDIT: Sorry for the late update! Ah yea it wasn't bad, but it could have been if I stalled after I initially hit the other guy. Incoming trucks were going to smash into me if I hadn't gotten out of the roadway. Accidents happen when you least expect it. I was trying to make a left on a busy street.
There was nobody across from me so I focused on my left and my right. When it was clear I just went and I forgot to look across from me if anybody was there. That's when I hit him in the middle. He was trying to go straight and I was turning left. Anyways, thank you guys for your concerns. Greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Misaligned the wheels/hood. Ruined the fenders and bumper. Headlights are smashed. I hope there are no internal damage.

Be safe everybody!

You're okay, and that's all that matters.

Not sure if this was a factor, but everyone please be extra cautious with your summer tires as the temps start to drop. I've noticed that especially with my very worn tires, they're much harder in the 60F weather than they were in similar temps last year. I slip all over the place before they warm up.

Maybe you are correct. I hope all heed your warning. I would think that slicks or worn tires might give you more grip in dry weather. Cold tires and cold weather are always an issue.

I hope the OP's damage is easily repaired and back on the road soon.

yah, RE050A's are known to get kinda slick especially under 50F.

dunlops seem to hold better in lower temps.
