Default helpin out a fellow Z

alright so i live in everett washington and for some reason it started snowing like crazy today(almost bein march). I was driving down the highway in my friends jetta (my Z is at home) and i see a silverstone Z parked up on the curb, so i decided to turn around and go see whats up. I walked up to him and asked if he needed help, looked at his car.. and felt sick to my stomach. His fender and front bumper is dented and scratched badly, headlight cracked, and nismo 19inch rim dented. I felt good helping the guy push his car off of the sidewalk and up the hill, but his car drives away very hurt! anyways.. that was my good deed for the day. I just got my 350z last sunday and im glad i could help out another Z owner so soon!

It was in the millcreek area. The guy seemed middle aged, but HAD a clean looking car. lucky for him, the car was still drive able, but he will need a new bumper, fender, headlight, and wheel... thats all gonna add up
