The End. Thats my story on what I had before and how i ended up with the Z.

What car did everyone else have before the Z. Post pics if you got them.

 

OHMIGOD!! Were you O.K.? What happened?

Anyway I've got to say that's the best lookin' Celica I've seen. Very nice. What are your plans for the Z? WHich do you like better?

Sorry so many questions! I'll stop now.

 

Ouch, that's harsh. I thought you were just gonna show us pics of a car you had and then sold... not crashed! Anyway, where was that first pic taken? Was it in downtown LA on top of a parking garage? I think I know which one it was cuz when I had the Solara (car I had before, see pix!), I went to one of those midnight club runs and we went on top of a parking garage to get pictures taken.
Well, hopefully, you won't crash your new car... how did the other two happen btw?

 

Wow two compliments tonight thanks your the coolest. Well Im ok now but heres the long version.

I was going down the 405 to the Long Beach Airport to get my friend back to NY. A driver of a new GNC yukon was on his cell phone, and tried to change lanes. He wasnt paying attention and a car was there. He swarved, hit his brakes, fishtailed, and spun out.

He spun over three lanes and hit the median facing on coming traffic. I was the unlucky one that was in the car pool lane where he hit.

I was traveling at 80mph and had no place to go. I had to act fast becouse The SUV blocked my way of passage.

I looked over and I couldnt change lanes becouse there was traffic in the fast lane. I was forced to hit my brakes and skidded 60 feet slamming into the front of the SUV.

The car was as you can see was totaled. I was sore for a few months with neck and back pain but it was minor. The best thing though was that the celica keep me and my friend safe.

The celica did its job just look at the inside of the car its untouched. The crumple zones worked perfectly and kept us alive.

Well what Im have currently lined up for the Z is a Veilside Version 1 Kit with carbonfiber wing, 5Zigen 19" wheels, and some Vogtland springs with 15way Tokico shocks/struts.

Honestly I do miss the Celica. I put two and half years of work into it and it was first car i ever modded. Ill always miss it.

The 350Z performance is great and I love the styling as well. I like the handing and especially like the extra horses.

 

I'm glad you're O.K. I had an accident on the 60 freeway not too long ago and I felt the same kinda pain you did. I slammed into the back of an old GMC truck with my Expedition. There was traffic coming up ahead and I was trying to switch lanes to avoid it going about 60 mph. Little did I know traffic came to a complete stop and three cars in front of me had already hit. As I was looking to see if the next lane was clear for the lane change I slammed full force (I was still into my lane change and had not realized I was about to hit) into the 4th truck. Since I was doing the lane change, my truck only hit it's front left corner. The airbags didn't come out, my door was jammed, and there was stuff coming out the engine. I was so freaked out. I was only bruised and scratched, but I was sore for the next week or two. Everyone else was fine.

That's another thing, do you think there was something wrong with my car cuz the airbags didn't come out? I talk to the body shop guy and he said since I wasn't braking the sensors didn't catch on to that and that's why they didn't open. I thought it was cuz Ford sux and they wanted me to die. What do you think?

 

Had the stang, vette and now Z

Hehe, I'm sure Ford didn't want you to die. It just might be that you hit it at such an angle that it didn't seem necessary for the airbags to deploy. How fast were you going when you hit? 60? That's pretty fast and the airbags should've deployed.

And back to the Celica. I think the thing looked sweet and I'm sure your Z will look even nicer now that you've got some experience behind ya. Good luck.

 

Did it take a lot vitamins?

(Sorry, couldn't resist)

 

I guess GMC trucks are just bad luck. It was good you didnt have alot of pain but sounds like your air bags should have deployed.

I hit someone in a company ford ranger in the rear, and was going 35mph. Then someone hit me and the airbags went off which was wierd. Maybe you slowed down enough so the sensors didnt trigger.

 

MR. B- I did go to one midnight run but I think it was before the one you attended.

It was fun and i remember buzz media planned it. I really enjoyed going though the LA tunnels at like 80 or 90. The sound of every ones cars was crazy.

Well I took those pics actually in irvine on top of a parking stucture.

Well were you in SC3 by chance? The solara looked really nice and familiar. I used to hang out with them alot at most import events.

 

OK, I suck and don't know how to put images in my message other than using the attach file button, which only allows one image at a time.

So...

Here's my old Truck:

 

Here's my new car:
