Ouch dude. Glad you came out OK.

wow, looks bad. Sorry to hear about this. Glad to know you only had minor injury. Hope everything will get smoothed out soon.

Thanks everyone. Just got the police report last night. The guy causing the accident was 75 years old. He was ticketed for Failure to Yield Right of Way Turning Left. Police report diagram is almost identical to the one I put up a few days ago, description and all. Hopefully I can get a rental today because I need to go back to the doc for more pain meds. And btw, even though I work from home, my manager and director both strongly suggested that I take the rest of this week off to recover...so looks like I'll just be chillin'...Z-less for a while...:shakes head:

Hang in there, man and get better soon.

Seatbelts
 

Gotta wear em. Glad you did.

The base brakes are just as good as the sport package brakes in normal driving. Larger brakes/rotors/calipers have increased thermal capacity and can cycle constant hard braking better. Once you have enough brake force available to overcome tire traction, adding more won't make a significant difference.

...and as for the tires...they are the same type/model/brand as the ones on the Nismo, just not as wide (about a 1" difference).

It's counter intuitive, but in this situtation, I've been told you're suppose to take the best of the worst options... in which case should have been hitting the Camry or just staying in your lane. I know I sound like a Monday morning quarterback, but had you stayed in your lane, the impact could have been a lot less than hitting another car head on at 50 mph (100mph impact vs 50 mph impact). You're lucky he/she admitted fault because they could have easily claimed you lost control of your car and headed towards oncomming traffic.

Glad you're okay :tiphat:

Hopefully final pics...

On a brighter note, this was sitting for sale on the same lot, he either said he wanted 190k or 109k for it. I couldn't help but get a few pics... He didn't want me to get too close to it, so I didn't get any pics from behind since it was pretty close to the fence.

Noble M400 sold for somthing like $95,000 brand new in 04-07

^^it looks pretty sweet. About the 135i though, they are nice and quick. My best friend has one and he loves it, its not very reliable though. His warranty ran out late April or early May and his car has already been in the shop twice since then. So its been about 1500 in repairs in the past month.

Interesting, maybe he thinks someone that has no idea what the M400 is, will come by and buy it :icon17:

What did he think you were going to do it.......:gtfo2:

^^Sorry, I put that comment in a bad spot. I was referring to me getting too close to the M400. He said the alarm would go off :icon23: There was no other damage to the rear of the Z besides what is shown in the pics.

ouch man... sorry to hear.. im glad you got out ok though man....

Holy smokes!

That looks crazy, well at least you were able to walk away from the accident. The car looks pretty bad and totaled I am sure.
