I hope they total it and you buy another Z... (I wouldn't feel safe driving the Z after seeing that pic)
Personally, I'd buy a beater and wait for the next Z or Mustang... I can't do the FRS because I feel like it's a soulless car... 200hp... Wow... My 1998 and 2001 Avalons had as much... My 1998 was faster to 60 than the current FRS (please don't ask me why, I know the last time I ran it before it got totaled it did a 0-60 without rollout in 6.1 seconds)

May I now ask a really prickish question?

Can I have your fender liners, I'll buy you a beer and let you drive my blue Z!

I would say sure you can to the fender question but totally out of my control at this point as far as a beater goes though just picked up one yesterday with really low miles on it for a car from 1996 so now its just down to playing the waiting game until I have a good chunk of change to pick up another Z or something else down the line but I may just wait and see what everyone has to offer towards the end of this next year...that or I may end up just saving up for a gt-r and just keep it as a weekend car when I get it

Man, it's just ridiculous what you guys pay for cars over in the US! I paid that much for my 2012 370z last July, and if I want a GTR it would be somewhere between $150-180k for a 2011-2012 model!

Anyone got a job for me over there?!?!

speaking from first hand experience. if you've got the 370 out of your system.
i'd go with the mustang. that's what i did. i owned a 350 and a 370 and loved them both while i had them. i posted a while back i had to let the 370 go for a
maxima. well that lasted for about 4 weeks it just didn't work for me. well as it turned out the wife got an early Christmas present. and i got a new 2013 5.0.

i'm not going to waste anyone's time on here going on and on about the 5.0
you guys are to car wise for that. I'll just say i loved my Z's when i had them
and they are still one fine sports car. get what makes you feel good. just make sure you've got the Z out of your system are you could live to regret it.

OMG Mike I just saw this, thankfully you were OK since the Z can always be replaced

If you want my honest opinion I would just go would go with an FR-S. If something happened to my Z it would be my next car no doubt.

You can't go wrong with the new Mustangs or even a Genesis too but it's all about how much you want to spend

Thanks waizz appreciate the sentiments...honestly though I don't think the z is out of my system yet and while it is at the top of my replacement car list for right now time and money can change a persons mind so I guess well see what happens I know for sure though by the time June or July rolls around I'll already have a good 10k saved up for a down payment on something

Aghh, Z_ealot... I just had the same thing happen to me in my car at 35mph taking a left hand turn. So I feel your pain.

The front bumper and headlight had damage on my car which was about 3,000. I ended up paying a few bucks extra and did the Nismo front bumper conversion.

I'm fighting a ticket in court so that's all I'm going to say for now.

I'll do a write up later so I can receive my proper public shaming later.

sorry to hear that rettin, but yeah seems its not really a good year for Z's as far as wrecks go glad to hear you were able to get by your little fender bender coming out on top, makes me think if only i had been going 5mph slower my Z would still be here
