TOTALED OUT 370z.. Guess who's? :(

Carbon_z · 10-16-2011, 10:24 PM

happened last week so kinda bummed out about it.... This is an example of what a front wheel blowout CAN do to your car.

On a side note: They valued the car STOCK at 28k

which I paid 29K for it BRAND NEW 2 years ago and 45,000 less miles. In addition, to car being paid off I got a nice return on my modifications....Depressing but glad im okay and sad to say im looking for another car WHICH WONT be a Z.

PS: I DONT HAVE ANY PARTS TO PART-OUT SO PLEASE NO MESSAGES ASKING IF I STILL HAVE THEM. I CAN HOWEVER WRAP YOUR PARTS JUST AS I HAD IF YOU VISIT OUR SITE. WWW.CARBONFIBERELEMENT.COM

damn that looks rough

tire just blew??

ScGRaceR · 10-16-2011, 10:27 PM

damnnn rip

Trips · 10-16-2011, 10:29 PM

Damn thats nasty.

Glad you were Ok though Thats the important part.

Nows the time for a Nismo

Carbon_z · 10-16-2011, 10:30 PM

I was in the far right lane going 75ish while tire blew. OF COURSE GA I-20 HWY has to have a 3-4 inch DROP in payment height on the shoulder compared to the highway so the the car pulled right and bam, guard rail. The wheel snapped off like somebodies neck being snapped. It was ugly.

SAD PART when the tow company went back to pick up car, they said somebody must have stolen the rim that fell off. That rim had the caliper, rotor, the whatever assembly is attached to the actual wheel.. IT REALLY sUCKS but the insurance company compensated me well regarding the mods on the car.

Sorry to hear it bud. I know how special your Z was for bringing new CF to the 370.

Baer383 · 10-16-2011, 10:39 PM

I20 does suck I hate riding down to Z1 the pavement is very uneven.

Glad your OK

It was good that they compensated you for your mods.

Most important thing is that you're ok. Sorry to hear though.
