So I came upon this article on Friday, after reading the name of the driver I instantly realized it was the brother of an old friend of mine. Last time I saw the car, which is about three weeks ago, it still has in transit sticker on it. His older brother was driving, I don't know if what really happened, but the driver is still in the hospital while my old friend, the passenger and the owner of the car, was released the next day.
The car, an 06 Touring, is totally gone. The damages on the other side is even worse, all suspension/axles and some of the drivetrain are gone. All airbag went off as well.

 

ouch... cool bungie cord holding the fender up though.

 

Looks like a couple turns of the wedge, maybe some right side tires and it should be good to go

 

I'll take the brakes

Sorry to hear he's in the hospital though, it sucks when you really, REALLY pay for your mistakes.

 

Wow another crashed Z..there has been too many lately.

 

The same brakes that got this car into this mess?

 

and they all seem to be in their early twenties or younger, hmmmmm

 

The driver was 34 years old as stated in the first sentence of the article. The owner of the car is actually 24.

 

Don't blame this one on the Z, it was the driver who caused the accident.

Hope every one gets well.

 

Yeah from the looks of the damage they're unused.

 

Sad.

 

<---------Wishes he wasn't at work so he could see the picture.

 

friend gets Z + older brother likes Z and wants to test drive it + older brother doesnt know what the F he's doing = wrecked Z


doesnt matter what age they are...he obviously couldnt handle it. Idiots!

 

According to the article it seems there are two sides to the story, but only one side left on this car.

 

Knowing the older brother, I wouldn't be surprise at all if he was swerving in and out of traffic.

 

How come nobody is claiming dibs on the rear 06 lights? ......Oh..

 

One side is totally gone, I got dibs on the front bumper and headlights though. No...seriously, I'm about to call him in a little bit to see if I can have 'em.

 

^^^If he wants to report this to his insurance company, no way will they let you strip the car.

I don't think the owner is going to let you strip the car for parts and lose out on the insurance payment either.

 

I know, it was more along the line of wishful thinking. I was thinking the same thing too. I talked to him yesterday, nothing regarding this subject, but he said the car is just sitting there and he's waiting to hear from ins comp. The driver is still in the hopsital and it's been almost a week.
