I still remember the date, march 24.Its been about four weeks since the last time i drove my 350. It was raining really hard,so i(and my girlfriend) decided to get an early start, since i had to be at work at 8am, we left martinsburg at 7:10, i made it to the bridge from 81n to maryland.I was cruising at about 60mph,it was still raining hard, as soon as i reached the end of the bridge,the front of my car hopped, when it did that, the ***-end slid to the left, i downshifted to fourth and slowed it down ,now doing a right ***-end drift, held on until the rumble strip grabed the wheels and spun me all the way around.****.Now going backwards i hit the brakes,one hand pushing my girl back in her seat,the other pushing myself back...Impact..I sat there for about a minute, shut the car off, i didnt even stall it, mud coverd all the windows..i didnt want to get out.But i had to, so here we go. i call an ambulance...the back of my car holy ****,but were both walked away, not a scratch.The cop came" how fast were you going?what happend?"Im still in shock, i didnt know, i hit a puddle or something, so i get a ticket.,failure to controll speed to avoid collision,wtf, so after the backyard bob picks up my car with the rollback, scrapping whats left of that pikes peak white paint off the front..the officer leaves, i walk back to where i lost it, what did i hit..i see a hudge "allegator"at the exact point my car hopped..hmm, so now i gotta go to court, i cant belive i didnt see it!i thought it would be totalled, but the estimate came out to 10516.14..Thank god for insurance!but since hks hi-power is on backorder for two months, i have to go with borla true dual..the car will be done in two weeks! heres before it happend to most recent.

 

did gator die?

 

Good that you and the passenger are OK.

What is an alligator?
Brand of tires?
Miles on tires?

 

an "allagator" is another word for a shredded tractor-trailor tire.

 

oh, i thought you just spelled to wrong.

 

after looking at the pics, I figured out he hit the shredded tire. But the video I was running in my head was way cooler when I still thought he hit an alligator.

Sorry to hear about the crash.

 

I figure Hagerstown is Maryland. No alligators in Maryland.

 

Ouch.. damn glad you and your girl are OK.. Time for Aftermarket parts

 

Mine came out to be about that much in damage too, So they fixed yours? Does it run like it did before the crash?

 

I wonder why the Z's insurance rates are so high?

 

We would like to know what tires you were using, please.

 

WOW...allegators are all over Ga roads too.

Happy to see you both walked!!

 

seeing that wreck gave me a hard on...is that wrong?

 

Glad to see no one was hurt........

 

lol

 

pic of the gator?

at least no one (but the gator) was hurt. Looks like the Z will live another day!

 

Reduce speed while driving in bad weather.

 

But he was in a hurry?

 

the stock potenzas, 12,100 miles on them.

 

speed limit is 75, i was going 60 in the slow lane.
