I got nailed in my truck this Wed. the 27th. If it was my ZR I'm not to sure if I would be here. Hope the pics aren't to big

No chick. Just a Honda trying to make a left turn at about 70 mph. The driver dropped something in his car. When he reacehed for it he pulled the wheel down. We were headed west and he was going east. It came at me so fast (how fast was it?) Ha. It looked like a missle must look just before it blows you up. The sound was like an explosion and it spun us out. We're a little banged up but nothing like we would be if we were in the ZR.

Wow you probably would have rolled over in the Z.
Glad to hear everyone is OK

Take the insurance money get the truck driveable and spend the rest on mods for the Z

The ZR would have ate $hit with that kind of impact. Then again he would have probably saw you if you were driving it.

Actually, IMHO, you would've been ok in the Z. The strongest safety points on the Z are the sides (5-star as opposed to the front/rear being 4-star) and the ZR has a unibody structure, probably not unlike that truck. You probably would've been ok, but better safe than sorry being in the truck.

Even if the Z is safer/as safe as the truck, I'd much rather have the truck get hit than the Z. It's too good looking to get into an accident like that.

You would have been fine in the Z, its actually a safe car. However, your Z is much better looking that your truck.

Oh yea, trash my truck when it's down. If it was healthy it would open up a can whoop a$$. Poor thing. It's been so good to me. She had 175,000 mi and no dents or serious scratches. I'll miss her.

Even my ZR feels sorry for her.
Can I have an Amen?
