Unhappy Got cut off on the freeway, no more Z

Coming home from work tonight, pulling on to the freeway, someone decides to come into my lane. I slam on my brakes, missing him by what seems like inches, and spin a good two or three times and slapped the center divider, hard. It was pouring down rain and it was during rush hour.

I went across all three lanes and as I was spinning I could hear cars whiz by me. Nobody else hit me and I wasn't hurt. I am very lucky but very sad that my poor baby is gone. Dont have any pics, car is at the tow yard, Im almost positive that it is totalled. I hope it is totalled because I know the car will never be the same after they fix it.

The odd thing was is that there was an ambulance nearby. Before I even had a chance to call my insurance company, there was an EMT there. They let me sit in the back of the ambulance to stay out of the rain. With in ten minutes there was a tow truck there which is surprising since there was so much traffic.

Im gonna be sore tomorrow. The shitty thing is I took such damn good care of the car. There was not a dent or scratch on the thing. ARRGGHH!! I feel sick even thinking about it. Anyways thought that I would let my Z family know what happened.

Very sorry to hear about your accident.
Damn, I can't believe another Z crash... Seems like everyday.

Seems like you walked away without a scratch. Please be happy that you were able to walk away from the accident.

Sorry to hear man... glad that you were safe and able to return to the board. Maybe another Z is in your future, or at least hopefully a girl like the one in your sig

Take it easy man.

Hey, it's only a car. I know it's hard to believe that but your life is what matters. The car gave it up so you could walk away.

Take care.

****, sorry man, that really sucks!

It was POURING last night, that idiot driver should have known better than to cut you off.

Losing your car sucks, but look at it this way, you walked away after having your car spin across the entire freeway. Be glad for that.
