So sorry and glad your ok. Your pretty much local. Keep us update on your status and your car.

Jimmyusmc · 06-23-2012, 10:55 AM

I'm so glad your ok. At the end of the day your car is replaceable and your life is not.

Mike · 06-23-2012, 11:01 AM

Indeed. Everything is replaceable except life & mobility. There use to be a tv ad for an Attorney out here named Larry Parker & had a guy in a wheel chair saying Larry Parker got me $3.1 million & every time I saw it I thought yeah, but you still can't walk. As said by so many, glad everyone could walk away from it.

Glad to hear your ok but I have to laugh at the people saying the car is not that bad. Looks totaled to me, and who knows how damaged the engine is. Whats your plan if she is a write off? Another Z or something else?

The car is totaled, the meaning of my comment was that with a force of 50mph from both cars, the damages arnt as bad as you would expect. Op is lucky that the hood didnt bend anymore and go through the windshield on impact. Looks like the fender on the driver side is ok too. Yeah the whole front end is smashed, but thats nothing taking in how fast each car was traveling.

Just to reiterate, 50mph is best guess. I swerved, and was applying the brake at the same time, I realized that may not have been made clear before. I had maybe a second on the brake, before the front of his car, hit the passenger rear of my car and sent me out of the "yellow line median" into incoming traffic. After I eat dinner, I'll draw a simple, and I mean simple .jpg to show more detail. Not trying to draw this thread out, but you all are really helping to keep my spirits up right now. I appreciate all of the kind words, as I am a newb to the forum

Yeah i know i was just going off your guess about your speed and the jetta's speed. Nonetheless the car did its job. It just goes to show you how well the Z was built for safety, being a little sports car and all. Like you said man, just keep your spirits up. I may not have as many posts as 90% of the guys on here but we are all in the Z family. Trying to help out our fellow Z enthusiats is the least we can do. Im sure by posting up your accident, it has helped you get through things to a certain extent. We are here bro, just post and you shall recieve

about the car doing it's job, it did keep me safe. I added another picture that shows the Jetta on the original post, I thought I added this last night but I missed it. I also just noticed that both of my side mirrors, were flipped backwards, because of the impact I guess...

FairladyZ · 06-23-2012, 11:26 AM

Bottom line is the Z gave you another day to be upset at what happened. It saved you.

50mph head on is pretty fast.

Just be happy you can post about this, the Z is replaceable.

The z is totaled for sure.

DarkZ · 06-23-2012, 11:37 AM

Oh yeah, the car is totaled fer sure. When you do get another one, DO NOT get the new Midnight Blue.... that's the color I'm getting.... JUST KIDDING! See, you've cheered up already.

Sorry to hear about the accident. It happened to me before. Insurance should take care of you. Can't wait to see the next one... Nismo?

UNKNOWN_370 · 06-23-2012, 11:49 AM

Thank goodness ur ok bro... cars can be replaced. Swerving is a risky move brother. Just slam the brake next time something like that happens. Brakes are your best friend.
At least you are doing well for the type of accident it is. I had an accident before in my first Z and its rough.
