Well, it happened, totalled my Z last night
Sad to say it, but last night at 10pm I wrecked my Z, and it looks to be totalled 
It happened on I-75 southbound between the gibsonton and apollo beach exits here in Tampa. I downshifted to go around someone in 4th and punched it, the rear end snapped around and instantly got sideways, sending me straight into the guardrail in the median. The rear of the car took the hit and was completely crushed in, the car is pretty much destroyed from the b-pillars back. Unfortunately at night I couldn't tell that the road was just slightly damp, there was no road spray from other cars nor were my wipers on (not raining), so as far as I knew the road was just as dry as when we we got on miles back (did a quick 3-4 blast on the on ramp). Jim (k6750gsxr) was with me in the pass. seat, but he's ok. I on the other hand, busted my bottom lip on the inside
The car was towed to a friend's house where we're gonna salvage what we can (look for a part-out thread). I'm surprized at how calm I am, just glad to be alive and that no one got hurt :thumbsup2: It just sucks that after four years of having it, and over 2 years boosted, it has to go this way...

as long as you don't have any serious injury you came out on top, sure you car is fuxored but that is what insurance is for....you can always buy another car...not another life.
